Young's Hamstring Tightens Up

Shapecity · Sep 6, 2008

NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Titans say they have added starting quarterback Vince Young to their official injury report for Sunday's season opener, but he is still expected to play.

Coach Jeff Fisher said Young was included on the list Friday because of tightness in his hamstring, adding that the move was "just to protect us."

Reserve running back Quinton Ganther also had an issue with his hamstring during a special teams session Friday and did not finish practice.

His status for Sunday's game in Nashville against the Jacksonville Jaguars is not yet known.

Rookie defensive tackle Jason Jones, who suffered a left elbow injury Wednesday and missed Thursday's practice, returned Friday wearing a brace to protect his arm.

Fisher said Jones would not have been allowed to practice if coaches didn't think he could do it.

Fisher said the team doesn't anticipate Jones having any problems.

Porter Out: Jaguars receiver Jerry Porter was ruled out of Sunday's game because of a hamstring injury.

Porter, who signed a lucrative contract to be the team's No. 1 receiver during the offseason, had surgery to repair a torn hamstring a week before training camp. He missed all of camp and the preseason, but returned to practice Monday and had hoped to be back for the opener.

But Porter missed portions of practice Thursday and Friday, making coach Jack Del Rio's decision to hold him out another week an easy one.

Center Brad Meester (biceps) and defensive tackle Derek Landri (quadriceps) also were ruled out. Backup cornerback Scott Starks (pectoral) was listed as questionable.

Receiver Reggie Williams (hamstring), guard Maurice Williams (knee) and tight end Greg Estandia (knee) were listed as probable.
