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.Yahoo is reporting as a possible high ankle sprain, which sucks for McCarthy owners.New player notes Tue, Sep 11LB 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.(Yahoo! Sports)

I would like to know this as well. Ayers & Witherspoon?P.S. I wouldn't go Maualuga.If McCarthy cant play, who is the better pickup for this week:Ayersor 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?
Rey M already saw all the snaps; he should of had 10 tacks in that Balt Game, hes just not that good.'bigal0303 said:Maualuga is going to see more play with howard out now thats why im stuck thinking about him also.
Would Ayers still be startable though?Just traded for McCarthy and according to this everything looks good:http://blogs.tennessean.com/titans/2012/10/03/mccarthy-says-hes-good-to-go-for-minnesota/
I heard he didn't do much in practice sounds less than 50-50 he goes this week.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'm not sure its accurate but I heard he didn't practice at all Thursday.Barring setback he appears ready to roll.http://www.clarksvilleonline.com/2012/10/04/tennessee-titans-colin-mccarthy-to-be-back-in-the-middle-sunday/
I hear you man. I have McCarthy and Mario Williams as my 1st two IDP picks.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.
OMGOOMGMGOMGOOGMGMGAt least you're calm about it.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?

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.'johnnyboy8102 said:Apparently McCarthy let the Vikings game early.
That is not good considering the Titans play this Thursday.
I stand corrected. I am still not sure what to make of him and Ayers (or Brown) at this point though.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.'johnnyboy8102 said:Apparently McCarthy let the Vikings game early.

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.I stand corrected.

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).McCarthy has resumed his every-down role, playing 60-of-69 snaps in the loss to Minnesota.
He did play 60 snaps. Ayers played 64.Rotoworld posted:

Thursday game, probably just resting. I wouldn't worry about it unless we hear of a setback.'johnnyboy8102 said:Missed all 3 Practices this week. Looks like Ayers is the guy one more week.
Not inactive any further word?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.

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?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.
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.Rolling with him since he is active.
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.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.Rolling with him since he is active.
