Steve

McNair

He’ll fully participate in practice the rest of the week and is in no danger of missing Sunday’s game. He’s not an especially strong play versus Jacksonville this week.

A good sign for McNair, who is questionable with a bruised sterum. He won’t practice fully during the week, so it’s doubftul we’ll get a better update than this. McNair owners shouldn’t count on him.

His ankle is fine. McNair says he’ll be looking to stretch the field versus the Jaguars.

He’s expected to practice later this week, possibly Thursday. McNair isn’t 100%, but he’s in no danger of missing Sunday’s game.

He moved gingerly in the Titans locker room after the game. But it’s not an injury that threatens to keep him out next week.

Check back as McNair’s status will be a game-time decision.

The tone of McNair’s comments are far more skeptical than usual. “If I can’t go out there and perform, I’m not going to play,” McNair said. With Tennessee heading into a bye week, the Titans may want to get McNair a few weeks of rest.

“I was just talking to the trainer, and this is not going to heal in one or two or three weeks... I don’t have time to sit. But if I have to, I will.” Expect another week of “will he or won’t he?” in Tennessee. But fantasy owners should plan on alternatives.

Billy Volek will start. McNair will hope to play after the Titans bye week.

“He may soft-toss a little bit on Friday, but it is unlikely he will do anything organized with the team,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said.
