Vince Young Fails To Bench Himself, Then Injures Knee

September 8th, 2008 | by HG |

Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans reportedly has a torn medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his left knee and is expected to miss two to four weeks. Veteran qb Kerry Collins will take over the Titans for now.

Vince Young’s injury is big news, but just as interesting is the scene on the Tennessee sideline four plays before VY was hurt. The Titans’ offense was on the field, but Vince was on the bench talking with head coach Jeff Fisher.

From The Tennessean:

“I came on the field and 10 wasn’t in the huddle,” said center Kevin Mawae. “I didn’t know what the situation was.”

Fisher then made a beeline to Young, standing several yards away.

After the game, Fisher recalled that his conversation with Young centered solely on the quarterback’s hamstring.

“He said, ‘It’s tight,’ and I said, ‘If it’s tight, we’ll go with Kerry,’ and try to talk him back into it and he felt good,” Fisher said.

But considering how animated Fisher appeared as he talked with Young, it’s hard to believe some other matters weren’t discussed. From the outside looking in, Fisher seemed to all but throw Young back onto the field.

Vince Young’s hamstring might have really been tight, but the way it looks is that Vince couldn’t move the offense, and his feelings got hurt when the crowd booed. I hope I’m wrong but if I’m right Vince can go ahead and start concentrating full-time on his sausage business.
