NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Undrafted rookie wide receiver Reece Horn is near the bottom rung of a crowded depth chart at wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans.But he is much closer to realizing his dream of becoming a professional football player than he was a year ago.In the summer of 2015, Horn was in the NFL, but not as a player. Horn was working for his hometown Indianapolis Colts as an intern in their community relations department. Horn said he helped out in game operations and event marketing.It was a great experience while I was there throughout the summer, Horn said.Horn followed that up by catching 108 passes for 1,396 yards and eight touchdowns his senior year at the University of Indianapolis, a Division II program. He also averaged 26.3 yards per punt return.Although he also had caught 68 passes his junior season in 2014, the Colts were unaware he was a college football player when they offered him the internship.No, they didnt (know), Horn said. I kind of told them that I played college football at the University of Indianapolis, but they didnt understand the level or what I was reaching for ultimately.So rather than try to press upon the Colts that he was indeed a football prospect, the sports management major just went about doing the best work possible for the job theyd hired him to do.I knew I wasnt there for football, so I just went there and got my work done, said Horn, who also has a minor in business administration.It was kind of like football in a sense. I showed up early, clocking your ticket, and getting to work. I learned a lot on the business side on how events run with the Colts, since I was there, and Im sure the Titans are kind of the same way in a sense.Theres a lot of behind-the-scenes work in community relations, getting out in the community and reaching as many fans as possible.Once he finished his senior season and went undrafted, the Colts did give him a tryout.I obviously didnt get signed, Horn said, but my agent called me the very next day and said, `Youre heading to Nashville for another tryout with the Tennessee Titans. Horn tried out for the Titans and was eventually signed on June 3. Now, just as he had to work to get noticed by the Colts, he must do the same in Tennessee.Reece has done OK for his opportunity, Titans coach Mike Mularkey. He hasnt gotten a lot of opportunities in camp. But that will come in the preseason games, where he is going to have to show what he can do. Its just hard to get reps with 11 receivers (in camp). Hes done OK. He works as hard as everybody else.---Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Jordan 32 Sale .C. Lions has come to an end.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The stands were mostly empty, but the soggy show went on.Mack Brown ran for 149 yards and a touchdown in heavy rain Wednesday night, leading the Washington Redskins to a 20-13 preseason-closing victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.With Tropical Storm Hermine approaching Floridas Gulf Coast, the game at Raymond James Stadium was moved up 24 hours from Thursday, when the NFLs other 30 teams will conclude the exhibition schedule.Attendance was announced as 42,996, however there only appeared to be about 5,000 or so in the stands at kickoff. Only die-hard fans stayed around for the end.Youve got to love preseason football to be out there on a night like tonight, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.Brown, a first-year pro out of Florida, spearheaded a 245-yard rushing attack and scored on a 60-yard burst in the second quarter. He also broke runs of 21 and 22 yards in helping Washington built a 13-0 halftime lead.I played at the University of Florida. We had no indoor stadium, practice facility, so I played in the rain all the time, said Brown, who carried 12 times for 130 yards in the first two quarters.Rookie Nate Sudfeld played the entire game at quarterback for the Redskins, who left Kirk Cousins and the rest of Washingtons projected starters behind in Virginia to attend the teams Welcome Home Luncheon, an annual event that raises money for a charitable foundation.Meanwhile, 21 of 22 players listed as regulars on Tampa Bays depth chart, including quarterback Jameis Winston, did not dress.That left plenty of opportunities for young hopefuls such as Brown, who spent parts of last season on Washingtons practice squad, and Bucs receiver Bernard Reedy to state their case for surviving final cuts Saturday, the deadline to trim rosters to the regular-season limit of 53 players.I really want to be here, Brown said. I think I put some good film out there from camp, preseason. So Im going to keep praying and hopefully Im here.Winstons backup, Mike Glennon, started for Tampa Bay and played into the second quarter. Third-stringer Ryan Griffin, whos also expected to make the team, got the rest of the work at quarterback and threw a touchdown pass to Reedy in the final minute.ROOKIE WATCHRedskins: Sudfelld, a sixth-round draft pick, completed 8 of 18 passes for 72 yards, one TD and no interceptions.dddddddddddd With rookie RB Keith Marshall (elbow) landing on injured reserve this week, Brown and Robert Kelley remain in the running to be backups behind Matt Jones and Chris Thompson. Kelley carried 16 times for 99 yards.I was happy to see Mack. He showed up, made the decision tougher, Washington coach Jay Gruden said. Hopefully we can figure out a way to keep all of them. Well get together and figure it out.Buccaneers: After a rough start to the preseason, missing an extra point and two field goals in the first two weeks, second-round draft pick Roberto Aguayo converted all five of his field goal attempts over the last two games, including a 50-yarder Wednesday night.POSITION BATTLESRedskins: Sudfeld is third on the depth chart behind Cousins and Colt McCoy, who dressed but did not play.Buccaneers: Koetter has already said he expects to carry three quarterbacks. In addition to the competition for the fourth running back job, DE William Gholston played much of the first half in a bid to nail down a starting job.INJURY UPDATE:Redskins: Did not announce any injuries during the game.Buccaneers: Rookie CB Ryan Smith left in the second quarter with a hand injury. TE Kivon Cartwright and WR Kenny Bell (concussion) departed in the second half and did not return.QUOTABLE:Redskins: I thought it was a blue collar performance by our offense. We walked up with our lunch pails and just rode down the field as much as we could, Sudfeld said. I understood the game plan, we were really going to try and establish the run. Its just a different type of game when you play in this weather but I had a really fun time.Buccaneers: Cant tell you how much Im looking forward to getting the roster set, getting this behind, Koetter said. Its not a f un way to finish preseason. Its a sour taste after what I think was a productive preseason. Not at all what we had in mind. But Ive got to realize, we werent playing our best guys out there.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
