Jake Locker out against Steelers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Mike Munchak says quarterback Jake Locker will miss his second straight game with an injured left shoulder Thursday night when the Titans play the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Munchak also said Monday that backup running back Javon Ringer will miss four to six weeks after spraining his left knee.

Ringer was hurt in the second half of a 30-7 loss at Minnesota on Sunday. Munchak says that Ringer injured the medial collateral ligament in his knee.

With the Titans (1-4) hosting Pittsburgh, Munchak says Tennessee will wait until after the game against the Steelers before making a roster decision about Ringer's future this season.

Munchak says Locker is improving but Matt Hasselbeck will get his second straight start due to the short week. Locker will not be active.

If we can't win this, i'm not sure we'll win an away game this year, and that INCLUDES the Browns. We NEED to pull it together on the road and walk away with a win. We barely pulled it off at home, and i'm sure the Bye Week contributed to that, but it's TIME to go .500.

Not to put a jinx on us but this could be a long game for Matt Hasselbeck. We always seem to have good games against him and hopefully that will continue come Thursday.

Matt hasn't been the same guy since 2005....I wonder why?

It still haunts him when we cheated.
