Tennessee quarterback Matt Hasselbeck should make his fourth straight start Sunday against Indianapolis.
The veteran's play in leading Tennessee to fourth-quarter comebacks each of the past two games makes it easier for Jake Locker to take his time healing up his shoulder.
Locker injured his left, non-throwing shoulder Sept. 30 for the second time in four games. He just started throwing in practice last week, and Munchak said they would discuss the quarterback's status later Monday.
Munchak says they hope Locker returns ''sooner than later'' but that the quarterback's return depends on how quickly he progresses through each stage. Munchak says Locker will start when ready to play but the Titans (3-4) don't know when that will be right now.
