Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker missed practice on Thursday due to a right wrist injury. He also missed practice on Wednesday and the likelihood of him sitting out in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts is somewhat high.

The team seems to be concerned with an aggravation, which isn’t a surprise. Locker has been hurt for much of his career, so it’s hardly a surprise that the team doesn’t want to put him on the field at less than 100 percent. “I guess he’s got a shot until he doesn’t have a shot,” said coach Ken Whisenhunt.
If he doesn't play, we could be looking at Charlie Whitehurst in the starting lineup. He has a career 54.2 completion percentage and a passer rating of 64.6. Not good.
Fantasy impact: Perhaps the biggest impact here is that you should start the Colts D at home. As for the Titans, fantasy owners should be avoiding all of them. Running backs Bishop Sankey and Shonn Greene are going to split the work while it won't be easy to count on receivers Justin Hunter or Kendall Wright.
