Titans QB Young had tests on hamstring

After leading the Tennessee Titans to another win and chance to a new winning streak, quarterback Vince Young is not taking care of his right hamstring, which was mildly strained during last Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams.

The quarterback pulled up at the end of a 44-yard run, the longest of his career, during Sunday’s 47-7 win over the Rams. Being confident that his team would win, he did not appear again in his Titans jersey on field for the rest of the game. After having a variety of tests on the right hamstring, he was listed as day-to-day by Coach Jeff Fisher, who said that the injury was just a mild strain.

According to Fisher, Young will appear on the practice field on Wednesday to test how the hamstring works by then. The coach also said that Young will likely play on limited basis because it is unlikely he is in perfect condition by game time and the team does not want to take the risk of aggravating the injury.

NFL USO Coaches Toured to Iraq

Recently the NFL organized a groud of coaches to visit overseas U.S. military troops. The NFL USO Coaches Tour included three current and two former NFL coaches -- New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin, Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, retired Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher and former Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden.

They will meet as many troops as possible and thank them for their service. The tour started from Washington, D.C. where the group boarded flight. They flied 13 hours to Kuwait City and then got a ride from the commercial airport to a U.S. military base in order to catch a military flight to Baghdad.

While waiting for the flight, the coaches met service members for the first time. Most of the coaches had interaction with their fans. Two Giants fans ran to meet Tom Coughlin; a Steelers fan caught the chance to have a photo with Bill Cowher; some servicemen had a chat with Jeff Fisher; and the fromer Eagles defensive backs coach John Harbaugh had a conversation with a couple of Eagles fans. Only CW4 John Case (originally from Texas did not talk with Coughlin because he is a big Cowboy fan.

Then the coaches boarded two small C-12 military airplanes and flied to Baghdad. They arrived around midnight local time.
