"The biggest concern that I have right now, not knowing, I don't think it is serious about Vince," Fisher said. "We are going to do some studies, some tests on his knee."

Young iced his knee and apparently was good enough early that team officials said they thought he could talk to reporters. But he was moving very gingerly while trying to get dressed with crutches at his locker and left without talking to reporters.

He was hurt on a bootleg when Jaguars linebacker Daryl Smith collided with his left leg a couple plays after Fisher had to talk to his quarterback about whether he could go back into the game. Young had thrown his helmet on the sideline after being intercepted for the second time, and he didn't have his helmet with him when the Titans got the ball back.

Seahawks receiver Nate Burleson is confident he'll play next weekend after limping off the field with a left knee injury.

Coach Mike Holmgren was more reserved, saying Burleson's status won't be determined until he has more tests once the team returns to Seattle.

After the game, Burleson walked with a limp but told reporters he expects to be ready to play Sunday, when Seattle hosts San Francisco.

Seattle also lost starting running back Maurice Morris, who did not return after hurting his right knee early in the second half. Holmgren would only say that Morris will also be evaluated today.

Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber was taken to the locker room with bruised ribs in the second half against the Cleveland Browns.

Barber rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. He also had three catches for 21 yards. Barber had five carries in the third quarter before leaving the game.

Several Saints left the game against Tampa Bay with various injuries, including safety Roman Harper, cornerback Randall Gay and lineman Antwan Lake (left groin). Payton did not specify some of the injuries other than to say they appeared minor.

Deuce McAllister dressed for the game but did not play, as expected, after missing some practice because of tenderness in his surgically repaired left knee.

Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks left the game with a hamstring injury in the third quarter.
