Just curious. I know I saw him get sandwiched between two defenders and get knocked out at the moment he caught/dropped the pass. It was originally a fumble, but was overruled as not a completion.

I have seen a lot of people get knocked out. Nate was out before he hit the ground.

So what is with the "leg" being the injury report? Misdirection?

Through the magic of modern technology I bring you.... the Nate Washington hit.

Yes, I see where he could have gotten a bit of a leg bruise there.

Bigger question is whether to give up on him (by which I mean say try to trade) with Britt coming back.

Locker locked in on Washington late last year and again on Sunday, but 2 catches on 8 targets does not do much to confirm the anticipation there.

Thanks, but it does not go long enough. I also think that quietly Nate has been fantasy gold for a couple of seasons and he is the Titans most seasoned and consistent receiver.

Even with only 2 receptions, he still made one a TD catch. He has a knack.

BUt I still think he was knocked unconscious on the play on the video. It was the uppercut. If the video continued that camera stays on him he doesn't move for a few. Nate is just grasping empty air where the ball was. Even the announcers said something.

Meanwhile I don't think Britt's return hurts Nate's value at all. They are complimentary receivers. And if Hasselbeck were to comes back, I like both more.
