| Houston, TX (Best E Casino) - Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is reportedly likely to miss the last two games of the regular season after suffering a possible sprained MCL in the closing minutes of the team's 13-12 loss to the Houston Texans. According to the Tennessean, Haynesworth will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. He was carted off the field after getting caught in a pile of players and getting his left knee trapped. Haynesworth leads the 12-2 Titans in sacks with 8 1/2, but it's possible he would have been limited in the final two games regardless as Tennessee has already clinched the AFC South and a first-round bye. They can lock up home- field advantage in the AFC playoffs with a win against Pittsburgh next week. Haynesworth has also recorded 51 tackles and three forced fumbles in 14 games this season and has 271 tackles and 24 sacks in seven seasons, all with the Titans. |
