Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker dislocated his left
shoulder during a week 1 contest against the New England Patriots. The
24-year-old sustained a similar injury this week, but because he’s left-handed
it’s not expected to cause him to miss much time.
After sustaining the initial injury during the first week of
the season, Locker was able to return for the Titans’ next game. Coach Mike
Munchak said yesterday that Locker was very sore and that it’s uncertain how
much he’ll be able to participate in practice this week. While his status for
next week’s contest against the Minnesota Vikings isn’t clear at this time,
this doesn’t appear to be an injury that will cause the quarterback to miss
multiple weeks.
Locker has thrown for 781 yards and four touchdowns so far
this season. If he’s is unable to suit up against the Vikings, veteran
quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will get the start for the Titans.
