Whitehurst (finger) is considered probable for Week 1 against Kansas City, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

Whitehurst has been limited at practice over the last couple of weeks, but should be fine to assume his backup role behind starter Jake Locker.

Whitehurst (finger) was limited at practice Thursday, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

Whitehurst is still on track to be available as the No. 2 QB behind Jake Locker on Sunday against the Chiefs, barring a setback. If he's unable to play, rookie Zach Mettenberger would take over the backup duties in Week 1.

Whitehurst (finger) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports.

Assuming no setbacks as the week continues, Whitehurst appears on track to be available to serve as the the Titans' No. 2 QB behind Jake Locker on Sunday against the Chiefs.

Whitehurst (finger) is on track to resume practice this week.

Assuming that's the case, coach Ken Whisenhunt expects that Whitehurst will be able to open the coming season available to serve as the the Titans' No. 2 QB behind Jake Locker.

Whitehurst (finger) sat out practice on Monday, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports.

Whitehurst was unable to practice last week and therefore missed Saturday's preseason game versus Atlanta. The injury, however, is improving, and even with third-stringer Zach Mettenberger performing well in the preseason, head coach Ken Whisenhunt has relayed to The Tennessean that Whitehurst remains the primary backup to starter Jake Locker.

Whitehurst (finger) was in uniform but did not play in Saturday's preseason game against Atlanta, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

Whitehurst was unable to practice all week, despite the fact X-rays on his right pinkie came back negative. He'll try and take part in practice early next week in preparation for Tennessee's final preseason game versus Minnesota on Thursday.

Whitehurst (finger) missed practice for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday and is unlikely to play Saturday against Atlanta, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports.

Though X-rays on the injured right pinkie were negative, Whitehurst has been unable to get on the practice field at all this week. Jake Locker and third-string Zach Mettenberger will cover all of the quarterbacking duties against the Falcons.

Whitehurst (finger) did not practice on Wednesday, John Glennon of The Tennessean reports.

It was the third straight missed day for Whitehurst, who injured the finger in last Friday's loss to New Orleans. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt has yet to decide if his top backup QB will play on Saturday against the Falcons.

Whitehurst, who is dealing with a sore finger, got the day off Monday, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.

That said, coach Ken Whisenhunt relayed Monday that Whitehurst is fine, with the QB's status as Jake Locker's top backup thus seemingly secure.

Whitehurst suffered a hand injury in Friday's preseason game against the Saints, the Tennessean's Jim Wyatt reports.

With Whitehurst knocked out after taking a sack, Zach Mettenberger played most of the game, completing 20-of-25 passes for 269 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Assuming his hand isn't hurt too badly, Whitehurst still figures to serve as Jake Locker's top backup.

Whitehurst was 10-of-15 for 94 yards and a touchdown in Tennessee's preseason opener against Green Bay on Saturday.

Whitehurst, who moved over from San Diego during the offseason, did well in his Titans debut and looks locked in as Jake Locker's primary backup heading into the regular season.

Titans CEO Tommy Smith said new coach Ken Whisenhunt "pushed hard" for Charlie Whitehurst.

Smith admitted there were "several discussions" within the organization about the backup quarterback spot. In the end, Whisenhunt won out as the Titans made the questionable move of dumping Ryan Fitzpatrick. Although Whitehurst is an expert in Whiz's system, we've seen nothing on tape to suggest he'll be able to move the ball if/when Jake Locker misses time.

Titans signed QB Charlie Whitehurst to a two-year contract with a max value of $8 million.

Whitehurst, 32 in August, spent last season with new Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt in San Diego. The journeyman could have an outside chance at pushing Jake Locker for playing time, and expedite Ryan Fitzpatrick's release. Whitehurst holds a career 54.2 completion rate and 3:4 TD-to-INT ratio across four NFL starts. He's failed to impress every single time we've seen him.

Free agent QB Charlie Whitehurst is visiting the Titans Thursday.

Whitehurst spent last season in San Diego with new Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt. He'd be a downgrade on Ryan Fitzpatrick, which is a concern with Jake Locker coming off Lisfranc surgery and historically injury prone.

Coach Mike McCoy left the door open for Charlie Whitehurst to lose his backup QB job to seventh-round QB Brad Sorensen.

"We're giving everyone an opportunity to compete," said McCoy after watching the tape of San Diego's preseason opener. Sorensen completed 7-of-10 throws for 84 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks, while Whitehurst was terrifically bad, going 7-of-15 for 59 yards and a pair of interceptions. The new Chargers regime has no ties to Whitehurst, a holdover from ex-GM A.J. Smith.

Chargers QB Charlie Whitehurst (strained MCL) has resumed participating in individual drills, but will be inactive for Thursday's preseason opener.

It shouldn't be long before Philip Rivers' backup is back in team drills. As long as Whitehurst is healthy by the third preseason game, Kevin O'Connell won't be a threat to his job.

Chargers QB Charlie Whitehurst is expected to miss "a couple weeks" after injuring his left knee in Thursday's training camp practice.

Coach Norv Turner's timetable does confirm Whitehurst doesn't have a ligament tear. With only Philip Rivers and UDFA Jarrett Lee left healthy at quarterback, the Chargers are going to sign another one. Free agent Billy Volek has reportedly balked so far because he's not on board with being a "camp arm."

Charlie Whitehurst sustained a left knee injury Thursday, leading the Chargers to put feelers out for possible replacements at quarterback.

There's no sign that Whitehurst's injury is serious, but the Chargers were concerned enough to get on the phone. The Union-Tribune suggests Billy Volek as a logical candidate. Volek spent the past five seasons as a backup to Philip Rivers.

Chargers signed QB Charlie Whitehurst to a two-year contract.

Whitehurst has gone from Chargers third-stringer to Seahawks future starter back to Chargers third-stringer in the span of just over two years. Owner of a career 54.2 completion percentage on 155 pass attempts, Whitehurst simply isn't accurate or aggressive enough to be more than a low-end backup. On the bright side, he knows Norv Turner's system.

The Tacoma News Tribune does not expect the Seahawks to re-sign impending free agent Charlie Whitehurst.

"Check-down Charlie" attempted just 56 passes in 2011. He was so ineffective in his second of two starts in place of an injured Tarvaris Jackson that he was pulled after only seven throws in favor of T-Jax, who was dealing with a debilitating pectoral injury. Whitehurst should draw interest as a low-end backup on the open market.
