Vince Young says his focus is on football, not boos

Aug 15, 2009

Vince Young insists he won't be listening to any boos, or cheers, that come his way from Tennessee fans Saturday night.

That might indicate just how far the Titans quarterback has come over the past year since the 2008 season opener. Fans booed him that night over a second interception. He was slow to rejoin his teammates on the field and followed with a knee injury that cost him his job as Tennessee's starter.

Young steps onto LP Field on Saturday night in a preseason game against Tampa Bay and new Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris for his first snaps on that field since that meltdown.

The quarterback says he knows the boos came only from some fans, not the entire stadium. He says his focus is on playing football and doing his job.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
