Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker returned to practice on Wednesday, his first session in more than a week. He didn't get a full practice in, splitting reps with Charlie Whitehurst, but Locker is on track to return soon.
Jake Locker returns to practice, still has low fantasy value
Jake Locker was back at practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

The perpetually injured Locker has had more trouble staying healthy this season. He missed Week 4 with a wrist injury and was forced to sit out Week 6 when he hurt his throwing thumb. Locker has yet to play a full 16-game season in his four-year career. He has thrown for 764 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions in four games this season.
Fantasy impact: Locker's status for Week 7 is still up in the air, although if he can get full practices on Thursday or Friday, he should be good to go against Washington. Locker doesn't have much stand-alone fantasy appeal outside of two-quarterback leagues, but his return should be a boost to Justin Hunter, whose downfield threat is mitigated with Checkdown Charlie. Hunter, Kendall Wright and Delanie Walker are all decent starting options against Washington's shaky defense.
