The Nashville Tennessean reports Jake Locker (hip) is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks, and "possibly more depending on rehab." That's despite the fact that "the damage isn't as bad as initially feared," and surgery isn't expected to be needed. Locker is undergoing another MRI on Tuesday to determine the full extent of the damage. Locker has only been officially ruled out for Week 5, but he'll be lucky to be back before November. He's very much a candidate for injured reserve/designated to return. Fill-in Ryan Fitzpatrick will be a low-end QB2 in Tennessee's run-heavy offense.

This is my bad, everybody. I had just picked him up as a backup QB. Sorry.

Really sad, because that looked like a possible breakout game for him and would have made the fantasy value of his WRs and defense significantly better if so.
