Titans' Young has hamstring strain

   Titans quarterback Vince Young has a “mild” hamstring strain, according to coach Jeff Fisher. Young’s status is day-to-day as Tennessee prepares for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

   Young was injured during a career-long 44-yard run against St. Louis. It’s that mobility that has been so critical to the turnaround in the Titans’ season since Young took over the job in the seventh game. The threat of his legs often forces opponents to keep a defender on the backside to account for Young, which takes at least one player out of the mix in defending running back Chris Johnson.

   If Kerry Collins is forced back into the lineup, the Dolphins will no doubt load the box with eight defenders and dare Collins to beat them.
