Tennessee Titans’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck fit to play this Sunday game – NFL News
Tennessee Titans’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said that he was fit to play his next game and start at quarterback position against Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.
Hasselbeck told reporters before participating in limited practice session on Wednesday that he was ready to start this weekend.
Titans coach, Mike Munchak who watched him playing said that the player looked good and he was happy to see him to start at quarterback position.
"We didn't ask him to throw a lot of deep balls today. He'll start doing that tomorrow, just want to be cautious there," Munchak said. "If it was up to us, we probably wouldn't have practiced him at all like we hadn't the last
few weeks just to rest him in general and not necessarily because of the arm. He wanted obviously to be out here and get some throws and do some things. I think he feels good. It's all about confidence. I don't think he has an awful lot of soreness."
Hasselbeck injured himself in their game against Atlanta Falcons. He hit his arm on a defender's helmet while throwing a pass.
Tests reports confirmed on Monday that there was no structural damage to player's arm and he was expected to join the Titans again for this Sunday game.
Titans’ receiver Nate Washington backed their coach Munchak assurance that Hasselbeck looked ready for Sunday’s game. He said that the player looked back to his original form during practice session. His moves during practice confirmed
his fitness and preparedness for weekend's game.
Hasselbeck's absence had triggered a controversy in the Titans that who will be at starting position if the player is fit and back before next game.
Jake Locker, who played after Hasselbeck's injury in their game against Atlanta, had performed well. Munchak had been asked by the media about assigning of starting role at quarterback position.
He, however, refuted that if there was any controversy which said a fit Hasselbeck would be the starter. Munchak has now officially confirmed that he will start during this Sunday’s game as they taken on Buccaneers on the weekend.
