NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans will be without both starting cornerbacks Sunday when they visit the New England Patriots after changing the status of Cortland Finnegan from questionable to out.
Finnegan had been listed as questionable Friday after missing three straight days of practice. But the team changed that to out Saturday. This will be the third straight game missed by Finnegan since hurting his right hamstring Sept. 27 in a loss at the New York Jets.
Nick Harper already was out after breaking his right arm last week in a 31-9 loss to Indianapolis. Defensive back Vincent Fuller, who broke his right arm, practiced and is questionable. But he has not been cleared yet for contact.
That means rookie Jason McCourty likely will make his second straight start. Rookie Ryan Mouton also should get more playing time.
