Locker, who came on in relief of Zach Mettenberger after he suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter, completed 6-of-12 passes for 91 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions Sunday against the Texans. Mettenberger said after the game that he suffered a Grade 1 AC joint sprain and expects to play in Week 14 against the Giants. Despite Mettenberger's belief that he'll play next Sunday, the injury is to his throwing shoulder and he'll surely need to practice next week in order to play. If he's limited at all, Locker will be available against a Giants defense that is ranked in the bottom-10 against the pass this season.
