    Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan is defending himself on Twitter, saying he left training camp to deal with a personal matter and isn't upset with his contract.

    Finnegan wrote Sunday that he has spoken to coaches and teammates and will resume "all things asked." He says his personal issue needed attention and he will be back playing Monday when he will answer all questions.

    "My absence had nothing to do with a holdout yet a personal matter that Titan officials were aware of. I am grateful for being a Titan," Finnegan wrote in one post. "I am also thankful for my current contract and direction of team."

    The Titans first noticed Finnegan had left camp when he didn't attend a special teams practice Saturday morning, and general manager Mike Reinfeldt said after practice Saturday afternoon that the team had tried unsuccessfully to reach Finnegan. Reinfeldt said they were surprised he had left camp.

    But Finnegan wrote the Titans knew of his absence and were disappointed he wasn't there.

    "Being absence from a team function doesnt mean holdout or your unhappy Family issues come up I'm human thank you Nashville for understanding," Finnegan wrote.
