Veteran defensive end Dave Ball is returning to the Tennessee Titans, according to TitanInsider.com.

The website had reported last week that a deal for Ball to return to the Titans was in the works.

Ball, who has been with the Titans since 2008, agreed to a one-year contract that is worth just over $1.2 million, according to a league source. Ball has 15.5 sacks, all since joining the Titans, and has been a valuable member of the team's defensive end rotation.
