(AP Photos)NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker figure to have a little more than three weeks to stake a claim to the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback job.
Titans coach Mike Munchak threw the position open for competition during the offseason. Hasselbeck had a solid year as a free agent addition in 2011 and has been mentoring Locker, the former first-round pick.
The quarterbacks alternated reps during the first practice Saturday, a pattern that is likely to continue until a decision is made. Munchak said he wants that decision made by the third game of the preseason, August 23 against Arizona, for the good of team chemistry and preparation for the regular season.
