Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker could miss between four and eight weeks after suffering a hip injury in Sunday's Week 4 win against the New York Jets, according to Adam Schefter.
Jake Locker injury: Titans QB could miss 4-8 week, killing fantasy value
Just when Locker was starting to hit his stride...

Locker was clicking before suffering the injury, having thrown three first-half touchdown passes. But on a play early in the second half, Locker fell awkwardly, putting pressure on his hip. He was taken to the hospital for further tests and Schefter reported the latest timetable for the injury early Monday morning.
Fantasy spin: Locker was finally starting to look like a relevant fantasy option and was making the rest of the Titans’ offense intriguing for fantasy owners as well. The injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for Locker considering he appeared to be hitting his stride.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick set to take over at quarterback, there is no guarantee that Tennessee’s offense will continue to operate at the level it was on Sunday. There are worse backup quarterbacks in the league, but he’s not worth owning yet.
