| NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Quarterback Steve McNair was listed as
questionable Monday for Tennessee's game next week with Cincinnati
after injuring both an ankle and a knee in Philadelphia. An MRI showed mild sprains of the left ankle and the medial
collateral ligament in his left knee, a team spokesman said Monday. McNair walked around the Tennessee Titans facility Monday
afternoon on crutches with a plastic boot around his left foot,
which he likely will wear for at least a couple days. McNair was hurt Sunday when he was sandwiched between two
Philadelphia Eagles, left the game briefly and returned to set up
the winning field goal in a 15-13 victory. But he said his leg
stiffened up a couple hours after the game ended. He said both the ankle and the knee were "real sore" and that
he hadn't heard from doctors about the seriousness of the injuries. "Right now they haven't said anything. They're just waiting on
the MRI to see if there's anything loose or anything inside. I'm
waiting. It's up to them," he said. Coach Jeff Fisher said the ankle is more swollen than the knee,
and that McNair likely will remain in the boot for at least a
couple of days. Cornerback Samari Rolle also sprained his left wrist against the
Eagles, and Fisher said he likely will have to play with a splint
the next couple weeks. Defensive end Kenny Holmes, who has been bothered by sore
shoulders the past month, also was waiting for results of an MRI
after losing some strength in one shoulder. | ALSO SEE Del Greco's last-second FG gives Titans win over Eagles | ||
