Coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated Monday that Locker's (right thumb) Week 7 status remains unclear, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
While Whisenhunt reiterated that Locker remains the Titans' starter when healthy, at this stage the QB's status for Sunday's game against Washington is uncertain. In place of Locker in Week 6, Charlie Whitehurst threw for 233 yards in the team's 16-14 win over the Jaguars.

Locker (thumb/right hand) did not practice this week and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.
With that in mind, Wyatt expects Charlie Whitehurst to draw the start at QB for the Titans on Sunday against the Jaguars, though such a notion has not been confirmed by the team at this point.
Thu Oct 9 201414:40Locker (right thumb) missed practice again Thursday
Locker (right thumb) missed practice again Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
What Locker is able to do at practice Friday will be telling with regard to his Week 6 availability, though at this stage his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is cloudy. If Locker is unable to suit up this weekend, Charlie Whitehurst would presumably draw the start at QB for the Titans on Sunday.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated Wednesday that Locker (thumb) remains day-to-day.
Though Locker did not practice Wednesday, per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, the QB was able to do some throwing and hopes to practice some later this week. More on Locker's status Thursday, but if he is unable to start Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Charlie Whitehurst would presumably be in line for the assignment.
Mon Oct 6 201417:21Locker dealing with lot of swelling at this time
Locker, who suffered a bruised thumb in Sunday's loss to the Browns, is dealing with a lot of swelling at this time, NFL.com reports.
The report suggests that there appears to be no structural damage in Locker's thumb, but his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is nonetheless cloudy. If Locker is unable to play this weekend, Charlie Whitehurst would likely be in line to start at QB for the Titans on Sunday, though in such a scenario, we suppose that the team could also entertain the notion of seeing what they have in rookie Zach Mettenberger.
Sun Oct 5 201417:12Locker slated to undergo MRI on right thumb
Locker is slated to undergo an MRI on his right thumb, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
X-rays on Locker's thumb came up clean, but the quarterback's status moving forward is now cloudy thanks to his latest injury, with Charlie Whitehurst a candidate to start next Sunday's game against the Jaguars, as a result.

Locker (hand/wrist) will not return to Sunday's game against the Browns, ESPN's Paul Kuharsky reports.
Locker emerged from the locker room after halftime wearing street clothes and a wrap around his right hand. It is not yet clear whether this is a new injury or an aggravation of the wrist issue that bothered him earlier this season, but the Titans will likely provide some type of update after the game. Tennessee hosts Jacksonville next week.

Locker left Sunday's game against the Browns with an apparent right hand/wrist injury, ESPN's Paul Kuharsky reports.
Locker has been taking a beating this game, taking a hard hit on a touchdown run earlier in the contest, and is now headed to the locker room for X-rays on his throwing hand. Charlie Whitehurst replaced him at quarterback for the Titans.
Sun Oct 5 201411:40Locker (wrist) active for Sunday's game against Browns
Locker (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Locker was listed as probable for the 1:00pm EDT kickoff against Cleveland, so his announcement as active comes as no surprise. A wrist injury held him out of Week 4's matchup against the Colts, but he was able to return to practice early this week, giving coach Ken Whisenhunt enough confidence to award him the starting nod. Through the first three weeks of the season, the 26-year-old has averaged just over 228 passing yards per game, and owns three touchdowns compared to four interceptions.
Sun Oct 5 201409:59Locker (wrist) will return to starting lineup Sunday against Bro...
Locker (wrist) will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Browns, the Tennessean reports. He's listed as probable on the injury report.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Locker, who sat out last week's game against the Colts, had a good week of practice leading up to Sunday's 1:00pm EDT kickoff. Given Locker's rough start to the season and the Titans' overall malaise in the passing game, there are better options at quarterback. However, Locker will be available if fantasy owners are desperate.
Fri Oct 3 201413:51Locker (wrist) probable for Sunday's game against Browns
Locker (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports.
Locker has been able to practice fully this week and is in line to start Sunday's game, after giving way to Charlie Whitehurst in Week 4's loss to the Colts. Through three contests, the Browns have given up an average of 272 passing yards to opponents (only five teams have allowed more to date).
Thu Oct 2 201415:45Coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated that Locker (wrist) did fine in p...
Coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated that Locker (wrist) did fine in practice Thursday and sees no reason why the quarterback won't play Sunday against the Browns, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.
At this stage, Locker remains on track to start Sunday's game, barring any setbacks, a potential outcome that would be supported by an official probable designation upon the release of Friday's final injury report.

Locker (wrist) indicated that feels good and was able to do everything at practice on Wednesday, John Glennon of the Tennessean reports.
While Locker is confident that he will be able to play Sunday against the Browns, for his part, coach Ken Whisenhunt still wants to see how Locker responds in Thursday's practice, following the work that the quarterback was able to put in on Wednesday.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt expects Locker (wrist) to practice Wednesday, the Tennessean's John Glennon reports. "He didn't throw today," Whisenhunt said of the QB on Monday. "I think he'll continue with treatment. He was very close Sunday and we'll see. I would anticipate he'll practice Wednesday."
In any case, while Locker is said to be making progress toward his recovery from a sprained right wrist, his status for Sunday's game against the Browns remains unclear. Charlie Whitehurst drew the start at QB for the team in Locker's place in Week 4's loss to the Colts.

Sun Sep 28 201408:36Jake Locker: (Wrist) Will Not Start Sunday
Charlie Whitehurst will start Sunday's game in place of the an injured Locker (wrist), ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Locker's wrist is apparently still sore, so he will give way to Whitehurst on Sunday. The report does not specify whether he will be inactive, but that presumably will be the case, and fantasy owners will want to identify a different option for Week 4.
Fri Sep 26 201414:07Jake Locker: (Wrist) Questionable for Sunday
Locker, who was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice, will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, the Tennessean reports. "It was encouraging. We got to see Jake do a little bit," coach Ken Whisenhunt noted Friday. "But that's what we anticipated. Hopefully (he'll) progress more and we'll obviously see what we can do tomorrow. That will determine a lot of what we decide on."
The report notes that Whisenhunt plans to assess Locker's condition again Saturday before making a determination on the QB's status for Sunday, with a game-time decision potentially looming here in advance of the team's 1:00 ET kickoff. For his part, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean is skeptical that Locker will be able to play this weekend. In any case, Charlie Whitehurst would be in line to draw the start at QB for the Titans on Sunday against the Colts in the event that Locker is unable to go.
Thu Sep 25 201415:26Locker (wrist) listed as non-participant at practice Thursday
Locker (wrist) was listed as a non-participant at practice Thursday, the Tennessean's John Glennon reports.
Glennon adds that coach Ken Whisenhunt noted that Locker is progressing, with the coach further suggesting that Saturday will likely be a determining day with regard to the QB's Week 4 status. The situation is thus trending toward a possible game-time decision, with Charlie Whitehurst in line to draw the start at QB Sunday against the Colts in the event that Locker is forced to sit.

Locker indicated after practice that his wrist is feeling better every day, while noting that he "participated lightly" in Wednesday's session.
That said, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean relays that Locker will be listed as not practicing on Wednesday, per coach Ken Whisenhunt. Either way, Locker's status will be worth tracking in the coming days, with Charlie Whitehurst next in line for the Titans' QB snaps if Locker is out, or limited at all, Sunday against the Colts.
