The Tennessee Titans confirmed Tuesday that Locker has a sprained hip, an optimistic diagnosis that should allow a midseason return for the quarterback. "We received reassuring reports from the second MRI today and they confirmed that there was no major damage to Jake Locker's hip joint -- it is classified as a sprained hip," a team statement read. "The area will need time to heal and strengthen, but he won't require surgery and he has already begun a rehab routine for both his hip and knee. "We certainly would expect him to miss a few weeks, but we are encouraged by the news today." NFL Media's Albert Breer and Ian Rapoport reported that Locker likely will miss the team's next three games.

If they can pull together and Ryan can just manage things, Locker will be back by mid-October.
