Titans’ Young will be game-time decision

Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young will be a game-time decision Sunday against Houston after he took one series of snaps with the scout team Friday in Nashville.

Young had injured his right quadriceps against Tampa Bay and had not practiced all week. He began Friday’s workout by dropping back and throwing the ball, then ran the Titans’ scout-team offense during a red-zone drill against the starting defense.

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said the quarterback felt better but would still be a game-time decision.

Suspended defensive tackle Tank Johnson practiced with the Dallas Cowboys for the first time, disappointed Commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t shorten his eight-game ban but glad to be back on the field. Johnson was signed by Dallas after being cut by the Chicago Bears and can’t play in a game until Nov. 11 against the New York Giants. He said he’d hoped Goodell would agree to shorten his suspension for violating probation on a gun charge to six games but will settle for the three weeks of practice he was granted.

A strip club manager paralyzed in a triple shooting is suing the NFL, the Titans and suspended cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, claiming they’re responsible for his injuries.

Former professional wrestler Tommy Urbanski seeks unspecified damages in the lawsuit filed in Clark County (Nev.) District Court. It also names the owners of Harlem Knights, a Houston strip club that rented Minxx Gentleman’s Club in Las Vegas in February for a party the weekend of the NBA All-Star game.

“The fact that the NFL and the Titans did not punish Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones until after Tommy was paralyzed is a proximate cause of Tommy’s injuries,” attorney Matthew Dushoff said before a news conference at a Henderson, Nev., hotel with Urbanski and his wife, Kathleen.

Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis has an injured knee and is one of several key players who could sit out Sunday’s game against Buffalo.

Lewis will be a game-time decision, Coach Brian Billick said Friday.

Center Mike Flynn (knee) is listed as questionable. Tight end Todd Heap (hamstring), cornerback Chris McAlister (knee) and tight end Daniel Wilcox (foot) didn’t practice all week and are expected to be out Sunday.

Bills wide receiver Peerless Price was put on injured reserve, the ninth Buffalo player to go on the list this season. He had surgery to repair a disk in his neck two weeks ago.

The Bills also released third-string quarterback Craig Nall for the second time. Nall first was let go just before the season began but was re-signed after quarterback J.P. Losman was injured in Week 3 against New England.

To replace Price and Nall on the 53-man roster, Buffalo signed receiver Justin Jenkins and quarterback Gibran Hamdan from its practice squad.

Philadelphia Eagles starting right tackle Jon Runyan sat out practice after bruising his tailbone in a training room fall but believes he will make his 184th consecutive start Sunday against Chicago.

Runyan, who was moving gingerly in the locker room, said he slipped getting into a tub after Thursday’s practice and landed on the tub’s edge. Asked how he felt Friday afternoon, Runyan said “not good.”

“The most comfortable position is standing, put it that way,” he said.

Oakland Raiders defensive tackle Gerard Warren and linebacker Sam Williams will sit out Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of injuries.

Warren, who leads the team with three sacks, will sit out his second straight game because of an injured quadriceps. Williams hurt his shoulder on Sept. 30 against Miami.

Warren Sapp, the team’s other starting defensive tackle, was listed as probable because of an ankle injury.
