Tennessee QB Locker out for Sunday

Posted on Oct 6, 2012 in Sports | 0 comments

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker will miss Sunday’s game because of a left shoulder injury, the NFL team said Friday.

Locker, a second-year pro, was injured in the first quarter of last week’s game against Houston. He was helped from the field and later appeared on the sidelines with his left — non-throwing — arm in a sling.

It was determined Locker dislocated his left shoulder. It was the second time in four games he suffered the same injury.

Locker has completed 67-of-106 passes for 781 yards and four touchdowns this season. He also was intercepted twice.

Matt Hasselbeck is expected to start at quarterback for the Titans (1-3) when they play the Vikings (3-1) in Minnesota.
