Sorry, I don't have a quote for you but I did read yesterday that he will play this week.

 

Fischer said the week off helped and he was throwing the ball on Monday - at this stagy all systems point to him playing.

"Is McNair questionable?"

 

That should be the new "Does a bear sh*t in the woods?"

Yes, I read that too. ESPN has conflicting official status'. One says Questionable, one says Out. Which is it?

Ditto. Saw this on ESPN.com. Fischer seems sure he'll play.

From the always unreliable CBSsportsline:

 

News: Tennessee QB Steve McNair should start in Week 8 against the Oakland Raiders after sitting out a game to rest his sore back. McNair has missed five practices over the last two weeks and didn't play in Sunday's loss in Arizona. Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday the team decided to leave McNair in Nashville for continued treatment and rest.

My guess is that the "Out" report is from last week.

 

From CNN/SI.com:

 

Fisher expects McNair to start

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair should start Sunday against the Oakland Raiders after sitting out a game to rest his sore back.

 

McNair has missed five practices over the last two weeks and didn't play in Sunday's loss in Arizona. Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday the team decided to leave McNair in Nashville for continued treatment and rest.

 

"It really helped him," Fisher said. "He went out and threw today and felt pretty good. It's good to get him back. I would expect he would be able to do some things for us on the practice field on Wednesday."

 

The Titans still were waiting for test results on receiver Brandon Jones' right knee. He was hurt late in the 20-10 loss to Arizona, and Fisher said the rookie felt better on Monday but still had some swelling.

 

They also ran tests on running back Chris Brown, who got a shoulder stinger that caused him to lose feeling in his right hand. He was hurt early in the second quarter and didn't return.

 

The Titans get running back Travis Henry back to practice this week after his four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. They cleared space by waiving receiver Andreae Thurman, who violated team rules over the weekend.

 

But the Titans will be looking for a long snapper after Ken Amato broke his fibula. Fisher said there was a chance they could brace up Amato's leg, but that he was sore Monday.

The issue is we use ESPN for our official IR report. We can put a player on IR if Doubtful or Out. Commish said that he had priority over me on waivers, which is true, but he is trying to put Mcnair on IR. He snagged Leftwich, who I wanted this week. What to do?
