WitP: Mouton, Elam, Ikaika, Veikune, Purcell, C.J., Pisa

Ryan Mouton had a 29-yard interception return for a touchdown in today's Titans vs Bucs preseason game. Here's video of the pick six. He also had a tackle. Mouton talked to The Tennessean about his performance.
“When we came out here, it was about trying to contribute somewhere,” said Mouton, a third-round pick from Hawaii. “I think we’re doing a good job of that and hopefully, we can keep improving.”
Mouton intercepted a pass by rookie quarterback Josh Freeman and returned it untouched for a 29-yard touchdown.

“My eyes got big when I saw it. I caught it, hoping to get down the sideline, not get caught,” Mouton said.

With Vincent Fuller (hamstring) sitting out, Mouton handled nickelback duties in the first half before moving to cornerback in the third quarter. He also handled two punts (6-yard average) and one kickoff return (19 yards).
Jason Elam was 2 for 2 on field goals, including a long of 46 yards, in a loss to the Lions. Ikaika Alama-Francis also played in the game.

The Cleveland Browns lost 17-0 to the Green Bay Packers but both David Veikune and Melila Purcell had three tackles apiece. Veikune also came away with an interception.

C.J. Hawthorne had two catches for 22 yards and Pisa Tinoisamoa had three tackles as the Bills beat the Bears.
