Indianapolis at Tennessee Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at LP Field, Nashville - TV: CBS; DirecTV: 712 *TV announcers: Bill Macatee, Steve Tasker *Keys to the game: The Titans plan to restore Jake Locker as their starting quarterback barring setbacks with his left shoulder. He's been out since mid-September and has separated the shoulder twice. He returns to an offense that has shifted gears with RB Chris Johnson having produced two vintage performances in a row, including 104 yards and two touchdowns on his first five carries last week at Buffalo - although he still has too many negative runs for the coaches' liking. With three victories by four or fewer points, the Colts aren't equipped to survive turnovers. Until they develop a more capable rushing attack, QB Andrew Luck has been the Colts' most dangerous rushing threat, as shown in his multiple red-zone rushing TDs last week. Donald Brown (knee) might be back this week, but the offensive line has its hands full aga...

NFL Rumors: Should Tennessee Titans Keep Jake Locker Benched In Favor Of Matt Hasselbeck?
The Tennessee Titans believe that Jake Locker is their future franchise quarterback. While he has struggled at times to make big plays this season, Locker has looked very good at different times throughout his first couple of seasons in the NFL. If the Titans are to get back to the playoffs some day, Locker will have to play a large part in leading the offense.
But that is the future...
Remember that Titan: Is Chris Johnson back to his old self?
After holding out for a new contract at the start of the 2011 preseason, Tennessee Titans Running Back Chris Johnson never seemed to be the same. Johnson rushed for career lows in both yards (1,047) and touchdowns (4) in 2011. By NFL standards Chris Johnson had a productive season, however, by his own standard, he failed to compare. Just two seasons prior Johnson had rushed...
Chris Johnson Breaks Out For 83-Yard Touchdown Run (Video)
Chris Johnson back? Could it possibly be?
Apparently, it looks like it may be true when the Tennessee Titans running back broke out for an 83-yard touchdown run in the first half in the team’s game versus the Buffalo Bills Sunday.
Johnson helped tie the game with that run and later had another in the game, finishing with 195 yards off of 18 carries. It looked like a CJ2K day...
Titans OT Michael Roos Day-To-Day Following An Appendectomy

Titans RB Johnson regains stride against Bills
Titans left tackle Michael Roos had a pleasant flashback watching the back of Chris Johnson's jersey disappear in the distance on his way to the end zone against the Buffalo Bills.
For Roos, it looked like something from 2009, when Johnson became just the sixth NFL player to break 2,000 yards rushing.
''It was, and I think everybody has been waiting for him to get back...

Titans Say LB Zac Diles Broke His Leg Vs Bills
It looks as if Titans veteran linebacker Zac Diles is done for the year.
Diles, who started at middle linebacker against the Bills, suffered a broken right leg and will almost certainly go on injured reserve. Patrick Bailey suffered a broken rib and Munchak called him very questionable for the Indianapolis game. Will Witherspoon missed some time against the Bills with a sore...

Indystar Colts Insider: A few big plays the difference in Indy's win over Browns
The Indianapolis Star's Mike Chappell, on the ball as usual, says the difference in this game came down to a few big plays. The Colts struggled (I've almost reached some kind of overuse threshold on that word this season) for long stretches in this game. However, they kept coming up with one more big play to keep their hopes alive against the feisty Browns. Chappell...
