Cortland Finnegan, a starting cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, will miss Week 6 against the New England Patriots due to an injured hamstring.

The Titans injury woes don’t end there. Vincent Fuller, a defensive back, is questionable due to an arm injury. Due to all the injuries, rookie Jason McCourty will have to start. The other starting cornerback won’t be known until kickoff.
As for the Patriots, they will undoubtedly look to …read more

The 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers look a lot like the Steelers we saw at the end of last season as they were on their way to a Super Bowl championship.

Offensively, the Steelers …read more

Jeff Fisher, the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, has made it clear that Kerry Collins is the starting quarterback. For Vince Young to start for the Titans at quarterback, he’d have to beat out Collins during the offseason and during the exhibition season.
Recently, Young upped the ante with his comments to a Baltimore television station. Instead of sounding like a player ready to play his best to win the starting gig, Young sounds more like a player who is ready to give an ultimatum.
Said Young to WMAR-TV in Baltimore: “I definitely want to get back out there playing ball …read more
