The Titans defense appears could get a big boost this week with the return of starting middle linebacker Colin McCarthy. He missed the last three games with what he said was a high-ankle sprain. McCarthy returned for limited practice on Wednesday and said afterward that, barring a significant setback, “I’m good to go†for the game against the 3-1 Vikings. “It felt good out there,†McCarthy said. “I did individual (drills), did all the team periods, so we’ll see what progress there is tomorrow and see how it feels. But again, I’m just happy to be out there, to get the defense going and be ready for Sunday.†Coach Mike Munchak said he expects McCarthy to see a lot of action against the Vikings. That’s good news for a defense that’s second-to-last in the league overall, last in first downs allowed and tied for second-to-last in turnover ratio. Source: The Tennessean
