I still haven't seen an update. I thought the MRI was yesterday?

 

[wolfpac255]

Yahoo is reporting as a possible high ankle sprain, which sucks for McCarthy owners.

New player notes Tue, Sep 11

LB Colin McCarthy injured his ankle and was getting an MRI. The fear is that McCarthy could have a high ankle sprain that may cause him to miss some time.

That's how it looked to me. Didn't appear too severe, but I'd plan on not having McCarthy available this week and possibly next.

If McCarthy cant play, who is the better pickup for this week:

Ayers

or

Witherspoon?

Ayers sure had a great game last week, but I'm also thinking of Rey Maualuga or maybe Larry Foote.

(I'm still intrigued by Kelvin Sheppard, but dont have the bench space if he cant produce well this week.)

Any one LB stand above the rest?

I would like to know this as well. Ayers & Witherspoon?P.S. I wouldn't go Maualuga.

 

[bigal0303]

Maualuga is going to see more play with howard out now thats why im stuck thinking about him also.

Rey M already saw all the snaps; he should of had 10 tacks in that Balt Game, hes just not that good.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Any word if McCarthy can return next week?

 

[KellysHeroes]

Z Brown a good start this week

Colin McCarthy | TEN (September 26, 2012 8:25 AM EDT) Titans MLB Colin McCarthy (ankle) has resumed light running.

McCarthy has missed the last two games and sounds unlikely to play against the Texans in Week 4. "He's running a little bit, doing things like that," coach Mike Munchak said. "It's just a matter of how he progresses the next three or four days as he's doing football-like activities." Will Witherspoon has 20 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble as the fill-in middle 'backer over the last two weeks.

[johnnyboy8102]

Roll w/ Ayers one more week.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

McCarthy practiced in full today according to Rotoworld.

Drop Ayers for him or can both be productive at the same time?

 

[hippyk]

Just traded for McCarthy and according to this everything looks good:

Would Ayers still be startable though?

 

[Freddy222]

High ankle sprains are rough injuries I have both and I'm sticking with ayers until I see a good game from McCarthy.

 

[bweiser]

i had to drop this guy after week 2 ... hated doing it, but rosters just aren't deep enough to carry a LB ... not when i already had sean lee and daryl washington. picked up navarro bowman in a trade last week.

someone jumped on mccarthy. i will be curious to see how he produces.

I heard he didn't do much in practice sounds less than 50-50 he goes this week.

 

[PhantomJB]

Barring setback he appears ready to roll.

I'm not sure its accurate but I heard he didn't practice at all Thursday.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Titans official website says DNP as well. Maybe there was a set back after Wednesday when he was Limited.

As of right now I am rolling with Ayers again this week in a quality matchup with the Vikings.

 

[thedudesdude]

this guy is making me sick as my LB1 in the draft. To think of the guys I passed up. Doesn't he have an injury history somewhat? This is looking bad, I'd be suprised if we see any kind of stats out of hime until week 7 or 8. Ugh. Couple this with my DL1 of J Tuck and you can see I'm not too pleased so far.

I hear you man. I have McCarthy and Mario Williams as my 1st two IDP picks.

Update on missing practice. Interpret as you see fit.

OMGOOMGMGOMGOOGMGMGAt least you're calm about it.

 

[KellysHeroes]

was dropped in one of my re-drafts and I was there to catch him

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Let's see what his status is today.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

What do we do with McCarthy this week? He was Limited Wednesday and Friday but DNP on Thursday.

Will he play be in subpackages? And if he does play what is Ayers value?

 

[Jbear]

Yeah, I'm in a similar boat..my league starts 1 LB, 1 DP (among others) which are generally LB's in the DP slot...but we can roster a max of 3 LB's so if McCarthy doesn't play I'll have to use a Safety or something b/c I have mason Foster on a bye and refuse to drop either..

 

[eric rymer]

Even if he plays I'm not starting him. Gonna roll out Ayers one more week at least.

ETA he tweeted earlier that he was ready to go for Sunday.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Apparently McCarthy let the Vikings game early.

That is not good considering the Titans play this Thursday.

 

[hippyk]

Anyone see how he played? I think most of the other LB numbers were low.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Apparently McCarthy let the Vikings game early.

That is not good considering the Titans play this Thursday.

Tennessee Titans LB Colin McCarthy (ankle) said he left the Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings as a precaution, as the team wanted to hold him out late in the blowout loss in hopes of helping him play in the Week 6 game Thursday, Oct. 11, against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I stand corrected. I am still not sure what to make of him and Ayers (or Brown) at this point though.

At this point, I would rather have Ayers for the next two games.Second half, I would expect McCarthy to earn back his elevated IDP status.

Though Ayers could undoubtedly remain very good/useful.

McCarthy has resumed his every-down role, playing 60-of-69 snaps in the loss to Minnesota.

However, that doesnt gel with the statement that he left early as a precaution, or that he rotated with Brown and Ayers...I didnt watch the game. If McCarthy played 60 snaps, then he seems solid enough with play time to put him in the lineup (as opposed to waiting a couple of weeks to see how things settle).

He did play 60 snaps. Ayers played 64.

Is this including special teams snaps?

Just defensive snaps.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Missed all 3 Practices this week.

Looks like Ayers is the guy one more week.

Thursday game, probably just resting. I wouldn't worry about it unless we hear of a setback.

 

[Jbear]

He will have a good matchup vs Pitt, but would you rather sit him until you see him perform for someone like Sean Weaterspoon who has a much worse matchup in Oakland?

This is assuming McCarthy plays...although after playing most of the game Sunday I'm sure he will play.

Not inactive any further word?

 

[thedudesdude]

He's on my bench...starting Fletcher, Burfict, Wagner, and yes KJ Wright over him. I'd rather err on the side of caution and see him put up a 6-2 before I start him and watch him lay an egg if he goes out early. If you're desperate with no other options I'd probably feel fairly comfortable starting him, he's ready to play it seems. I'll be watching closely to see how effective he appears tonight. The steelers should dominate TOP so he could come up big.

Thanks, leaning towards taking the gamble but I appreciate the input.Not inactive any further word?

 

[H.Wiggen]

Just saw that CBS reporting he is active. I'm afraid to start him, though.

 

[johnnyboy8102]

Rolling with him since he is active.

 

[Max Power]

Rolling with him since he is active.

Same here. He should be a good play tonight. But in reality, I have no other guys going tonight, so this is more for rooting interests for me.

I hear ya man. I feel its a good matchup and he wouldn't be active unless he was going to play a full complement of snaps.

 

[J Giles Band]

Started him in place of Derrick Johnson who is also banged up. Like McCarthy's matchup better.
