Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kerry Collins apparently had a similar injury last year for the Titans and missed two games. If Hasselbeck is out, the Titans are “confident” Locker can lead the team. Indeed, having Locker available off the bench after close to a full season of learning is an ideal situation for the team. Meanwhile, the team’s running back depth may have also taken a hit. Wyatt says backup running back Javon Ringer broke his hand and likely will miss the rest of the season. More X-rays will be taken Sunday.
