NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee coach Mike Munchak says Matt Hasselbeck is sore but walking around despite a left calf injury. Whether the veteran quarterback is strong enough to start against winless Indianapolis remains to be seen.
Munchak said Monday he is assuming Hasselbeck's injury is on the mild side, even though he hadn't heard back on an MRI exam.
Hasselbeck was hurt in the second quarter of a 22-17 loss to New Orleans, though he filled in for rookie Jake Locker with one completion in the fourth quarter before hopping to the sideline. If Hasselbeck cannot start, Locker would be in line for his first NFL start.
The Titans (7-6) will try to keep their playoff hopes alive Sunday with a handful of players with injuries still being checked.
