NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans re-signed running back Jackie Battle to a one-year contract, keeping him from becoming an unrestricted free agent March 11.
Mainly a special teams player for the Titans, Battle had 36 rushing attempts for 142 yards during the 2013 season.
Battle said he is glad to know he has a team entering the offseason.
“The past three years I didn’t know where I was going to be or if I was going to be somewhere until right before training camp,” Battle told The Tennessean. “So it’s great to know early, and I’m glad the Titans thought enough of me to want to bring me back. I’ve always been a core special teams guy in my career, and I’ve been able to step in when a team needed me to play running back. I just want to continue to do what I can to help a team win.”
