QB Young Aggravates Knee Injury
Titans QB Vince Young left practice on Thursday with ice wrapped around his knee after he aggravated a knee injury he originally suffered last week against Indianapolis.
After throwing a pass, Young walked gingerly towards the sideline before laying down on the ground to have a doctor check out his knee.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher expects Young to be ready to play on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
“At this point, I’m no more concerned about Vince than I am the other guys trying to work themselves back into health,” Fisher said.
If Young can’t go, the Titans will have to turn back to opening day starter Kerry Collins, who was benched after leading the team to an 0-6 start. Since replacing Collins as the starter, Young led the Titans to a 4-1 record, but the loss to the Colts last weekend all but killed the Titans’ playoff hopes.
Collins seems ready for another opportunity, if it happens.
“If I’m needed to play, I’ll be ready to go. It hasn’t been that long since I played really. As far as my preparation and stuff, I haven’t done anything different since we made the switch,” Collins said.
