Jake Locker will be under center as the starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans when they play host to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Locker sat out the Titans’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday because of an injured right wrist, but he returned to practice this week and experienced no setbacks.

“He’s has a good week of practice,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “The first day working back into it with the hand, we weren’t sure how it was going to be, but he’s progressed as the week has gone along.”

The 26-year-old Locker has played in three games this season and completed 57 of 101 passes for 685 yards and three touchdowns with four interceptions for the Titans (1-3).

Locker’s injury woes have forced him to miss 14 games the previous two seasons. He was limited to seven games last season because of a foot injury.

The injury report on cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson wasn’t as good. He suffered a concussion last week and is listed as questionable but not expected to play Sunday.
