NASHVILLE, TN, Sept. 23, 2008— After a victorious weekend that saw the Titans receivers contribute heavily to the win over the Texans, on Tuesday, the entire core of Chris Davis, Biren Ealy, Justin Gage, Lavelle Hawkins, Brandon Jones, Justin McCareins, and Paul Williams spent their only day off a week by carrying out the tradition of the Titans Tuesdays where players visit patients at the Baptist and Saint Thomas hospitals.

But, it was one patient in particular that truly touched Hawkins and McCareins. While watching the Titans – Texans game at LP Field two days earlier, Cynthia Smith became ill but fought through until the end of the game.

Meanwhile, Ealy and Williams spent time with new and expectant mothers. Upon request, they also stopped by the neo-natal intensive care unit where they held just born, triplets. The initial anxiety the players had for holding the babies quickly turned into adoration.
