Titans' QB latest hit by injury bug

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young left Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a quadriceps strain.

The Titans said Young's return was probable, but he never re-entered the game, and Tennessee had to rely on backup Kerry Collins.

"He tried to stay loose if he could, in case we had an issue with Kerry," coach Jeff Fisher said. "At this point, he'll just be day to day, but it was not something he could have played effectively with."

Young agreed. He said it was too early to speculate about playing in next week's game at Houston.

ARIZONA quarterback Kurt Warner left the Cardinals' 25-10 loss to Carolina with a sprained left elbow in the first quarter. Tim Rattay replaced him.

PATRIOTS: Already missing starting running back Laurence Maroney, the New England Patriots lost his backup, Sammy Morris, to a chest injury during their 48-27 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Morris, coming off consecutive 100-yard games in place of Maroney, was hurt early in the third quarter after he was tackled hard on a 2-yard gain. Receiver Donte Stallworth immediately signaled for team trainers, who spent several minutes examining Morris as he lay on the field.

After Morris slowly walked off the field and was examined on the sideline, his helmet was taken away and he was brought to the locker room.

COWBOYS cornerback Anthony Henry, the NFL leader with four interceptions, was out for the second straight game with a high right ankle sprain. Jacques Reeves started in his place.

PACKERS quarterback Brett Favre was limping noticeably as he walked to the interview podium after a 17-14 win over the Washington Redskins. He said somebody rolled up on his ankle on an early scramble.

"It really doesn't feel very good right now, but the bye week will help a little bit," Favre said.

Tight end Bubba Franks hurt his knee in the second half and was unable to return.

REDSKINS: Two players on the Redskins' beat-up offensive line sustained groin injuries: right tackle Todd Wade and center Casey Rabach.

CHARGERS Pro Bowl center Nick Hardwick hurt his right foot early in San Diego's 28-14 win over Oakland and was taken into the locker room on a cart.

RAVENS: Kyle Boller started at quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens in place of the injured Steve McNair in their 22-3 win over the St. Louis Rams. McNair was on the active list despite a strained groin and a stiff back.
