Titans QB Jake Locker (thumb) questionable for Sunday vs. Redskins
Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker is questionable to return from a thumb injury for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, the team announced Friday.
Locker injured his right thumb during the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Cleveland Browns and missed last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also missed the team's Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with a wrist injury.
In four games this season, Locker has completed 58 percent of his passes for 764 yards, with four touchdowns and four interceptions. Since being drafted eighth in 2011 out of Washington, he has a 9-13 record as Tennessee's starting quarterback.
