Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher said his quarterback will have tests to determine the severity of the injury, but added that Young's knee eased up in the locker room. "The biggest concern that I have right now, not knowing, I don't think it is serious about Vince," Fisher said. "We are going to do some studies, some tests on his knee." Young iced his knee and apparently was good enough early that team officials said they thought he could talk to reporters. But he was moving very gingerly while trying to get dressed with crutches at his locker and left without talking to reporters. He was hurt on a bootleg when Jaguars linebacker Daryl Smith collided with his left leg a couple plays after Fisher had to talk to his quarterback about whether he could go back into the game. Young had thrown his helmet on the sideline after being intercepted for the second time, and he didn't have his helmet with him when the Titans got the ball back. Backup quarterback Kerry Collins appeared to be going in, and Fisher took his headset off and talked with Young, who then pulled on his helmet and went into the game. Fisher said the discussion only involved Young's hamstring and whether he felt physically able to return. "Regarding the 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. "When he got out there, he moved. He didn't have any issues with the hamstring on the bootleg on which he was hurt." Young's second interception came a play after the Titans had picked off one of David Garrard's passes. Trimming interceptions is a key focus for Young this season after being picked off 17 times with only nine touchdown passes in 2007. Asked if he was disappointed with Young's attitude, Fisher said no. "He's very competitive," Fisher said. "I've never seen him jump up and down and high-five his teammates after he throws an interception."
