Tennessee Titans' Jake Locker: 'Injury-prone tag bothers me'

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker admits that he is upset with being labelled injury prone after being ruled out for the year with a Lisfranc problem.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker has admitted that he is bothered by people suggesting that he is injury prone.

Locker has been ruled out for the season with a Lisfranc injury he sustained during his side's defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars, after returning from a hip injury earlier in the year which sidelined him for two games.

"It does bother me," Locker told The Tennessean. "I feel like I have always done everything in the off-season, and put in the preparation to be as healthy and as strong as possible to prevent things from happening.

"And I've just had some freak deals that have unfortunately been major injuries for me."

The Titans now have Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starter for the rest of the year, while they also signed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jon Skelton last week.
