vince young

Vince Young is a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, and was the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft after leading the University of Texas to the BCS National Championship in the 2005 season. Following the win, Young announced he would forego his final season and enter the 2006 NFL Draft. The Titans selected Young as the top quarterback of the draft -- over USC's Matt Leinart -- with the third overall pick. In his first full season of 2007, Young helped the Titans snare the final playoff spot in the AFC, where the team fell to the Chargers. Young did not regain the starting role until six games into the 2009 season -- after the team started out 0-6 -- and Young helped the team win eight of their final 10 to climb into playoff contention by the end of the campaign.

Young tore a tendon in his right thumb and might need surgery, but the biggest news came when Coach Jeff Fisher told reporters after the game that Young, who left the stadium abruptly right after the game, has lost the starting job regardless on his condition.

Fisher said Young has a torn flexor tendon in his right thumb and may need season-ending surgery. Fisher and Young spoke in the locker room in what apparently was a heated discussion. Fisher wouldn't discuss what Young said to him.

The Tennessean reported Sunday night team officials will discuss Young in a conference call with owner Bud Adams on Monday. Young was the No. 3 overall pick in 2006, that season's Offensive Rookie of the Year. A day later, Fisher contacted police for help because family worried Young might hurt himself.

Young got his job back last season after Tennessee opened 0-6 on orders from Adams. Young is 30-17 as a starting quarterback, but Tennessee now is 5-5 with three straight losses.

Fisher said he was very disappointed and thinks Young's teammates are disappointed in Young's behavior after this loss.

Told that Young's injury could end his season, Griffin said he didn't know that

"Whatever happens, that's between them two," Griffin said of Fisher and Young.
