Adam Schefter Reports Titans Think Vince Young Has a Torn MCL
Music City Miracles — ... Now it gets interesting.  PFT is reporting that the Titans have contacted Chris Simms.  If the Titans don't have confidence that Ingle Martin, who is on the practice squad, can step in if Kerry Collins were to go down, they absolutely have to bring in another quarterback.  Simms is probably the best guy available, but I would also put a call in to Daunte Culpepper to see how serious he is about retirement.  They obviously cannot go into a game with only Collins on the active roster. ...

With Tom Brady Out, Who’s the AFC Favorite?
The Big Lead — ... on the road in January. Minus Brady, 22 prognosticators may be wrong. So pick a team, any team … Steelers? Brutal schedule, rebuilt offensive line, and nobody wants to read too much into a rout of ESPN’s beloved Texans … but today, we’d have to go with Pittsburgh. Titans? Still not convinced Vince Young is as good as Mike Vick was in his prime, and the offense, which will be led Kerry Collins for the next month, needs more than exciting rookie Chris ...

Young Refused To Play Right Before He Got Hurt
SPORTSbyBROOKS — ... His day was done. But the real story was just beginning. We’ll never know exactly what happened. Titans Coach Jeff Fisher immediately shifted into damage control. Young’s teammates were guarded in their answers to questions about the quarterback. As for Young, he was observed in the locker room on crutches more than an hour after game’s end but left without speaking to reporters. According to NFL NETWORK’s Adam Schefter , Young suffered a torn MCL and will be out 2-4 weeks (via PFT ). Which means he’ll have roughly a month to pull himself together. In the meantime, we get ...

Kerry Collins: Step right up

An MRI will be conducted today to verify the results, but it’s pretty much a forgone conclusion that we’ll be seeing a lot of veteran Kerry Collins over the course of the next couple of games. Let’s take a look at what Collins brings to the table for the Titan offense. Collins is a capable veteran quarterback with a ton of experience in this league. Entering his 14th year, Collins has overcome substance ...

Did Vince Young Quit on the Titans? [NFL]
Deadspin — ... Collins—he of the gray beard and formerly quitting on his first NFL team—took snaps from Titans center Kevin Mawae, the crowd went crazy with cheers. Believing, mistakenly, that Jeff Fisher had pulled Young from the game. Just as the cheering reached a crescendo, Young came running back onto the field. Two plays later he was injured and left the field. The severity of the injury is not yet known. (Adam Schefter of the NFL network is reporting that Young tore his MCL and will be out 2-4 weeks.) After being helped off the field, Young left behind a 3rd and 15 for his ...
