NFL: OAKLAND (2-4) at TENNESSEE (4-2) <h3>Young expected to return for Titans</h3> Oakland (2-4) at Tennessee (4-2) Sunday 1:00 pm EDT NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - Vince Young is expected toreturn to the lineup Sunday when the Tennessee Titans host theOakland Raiders. Young was on the sidelines for last Sunday's wild 38-36 victoryat Houston due to a sore right quadriceps, which he suffered onOctober 14. "It was a very clear-cut decision we had to make," Titans coachJeff Fisher told the Tennessean. "Now we have moved forward andsaid, 'OK, you have healed up to the point where you can go, sowe expect you to take all the reps on the practice field andwe'll put this behind you.'" Fisher said the Titans will be cautious with Young in practicethis week. "We'll be wise about it, and we'll get him back on the practicefield and work him into it," Fisher told the newspaper. "But Ithink two weeks will be sufficient from a healing standpointwhere he won't re-injure it." In five games this season, Young has thrown for just threetouchdowns with six interceptions. He also has rushed for ascore. Kerry Collins started in Young's place against the Texans andcompleted 25-of-42 passes for 280 yards without a turnover. Rob Bironas was the hero against the Texans as he kicked anNFL-record eight field goals. Bironas' final field goal, a29-yarder gave the Titans the win in a game in which theysquandered a 32-7 fourth-quarter deficit. The Raiders enter this contest looking to surpass their wintotal from all of last season. But in order to do that, theywill have to avoid a third straight loss. In losing to Kansas City and San Diego the last two weeks, theRaiders have managed a total of 24 points. Last Sunday, theRaiders managed just 268 total yards and 10 first downs in a12-10 setback to Kansas City. Oakland may have a tough time getting its offense going againstTennessee, which allows 290.0 yards per game to rank sixth inthe league.
