Further, Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean expects Matt Hasselbeck to start at least two games for Tennessee. Locker has reportedly been diagnosed with a separated left (non-throwing) shoulder, despite an earlier report that an MRI taken Monday had come back negative.
Fantasy Impact: Titans’ head coach Mike Munchak was relatively optimistic, and made it seem as if the quarterback was simply sore after taking a big hit. That no longer appears to be the case, obviously. Hasselbeck should once again get the call this weekend, and possibly Week 6 as well. The veteran QB went 17-for-25 passing for 193 yards and two touchdowns Sunday, but also had two pick-six interceptions.
