Steve McNair

8/12/2006

McNair led the Baltimore Ravens to a touchdown in his first series in a preseason game on Friday against the New York Giants. McNair was 4-for-5 for 45 yards and ran in the 6-yard touchdown. It was his only drive in the game. The Ravens quarterback was traded from the Tennessee Titans in the offseason.

6/1/2006

An arbitrator ruled on Wednesday that McNair should be allowed to work out at the Titans' practice facility, something the team barred him from doing since April 3. Tennesse feared McNair would suffer an injury and they would have to absorb a $23.46 million salary cap hit.

5/1/2006

McNair's agent, Bus Cook, said Sunday the Titans were considering releasing the veteran quarterback or trading him to the Baltimore Ravens, with something possibly worked out by Monday. The Titans drafted Texas quarterback Vince Young with the No. 3 overall pick Saturday as McNair's successor, and they already were looking for a way to reduce or shed the $23.46 million salary cap number the 2003 co-MVP is scheduled to count for in 2006.

3/2/2006

McNair will be paid a $1 million fee that will keep him with the Tennessee Titans for the 2006 season. The Titans will not have to pay a $50 million option that would have extended McNair's contract through 2009.

2/7/2006

McNair was added to the AFC's Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday to replace Denver's Jake Plummer, who is injured. The Titans' quarterback will be making his third all-star appearance and is scheduled to be in Honolulu by Wednesday.

12/30/2005

McNair has yet to practice this week, and sources within Titans camp have indicated that he will not be ready for Sunday's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nursing a strained pectoral muscle, the veteran quarterback likely will be replaced under center by third-stringer Matt Mauck, who has been taking the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense over the past few days.

12/28/2005

When McNair reported to the Titans' practice facilities on Wednesday, he still had considerable discomfort in his strained right pectoral muscle. As a result, the veteran quarterback is not expected to work out with the team until at least Friday, according to head coach Jeff Fisher. Third-stringer Matt Mauck took the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense and could get the nod if McNair cannot go in Sunday's meaningless season finale against the Jaguars.

12/26/2005

McNair remained "a little sore" Monday after exiting last Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins with a strained pectoral muscle. Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher said his starting quarterback probably wouldn't throw before Thursday and was scheduled to have Tuesday and possibly Wednesday off to rest.

12/24/2005

McNair left Saturday's game against the Miami Dolphins in the second quarter with a strained pectoral muscle. He was replaced by billy Volek. McNair had completed just 5-13 passes for 34 yards and two interceptions before leaving with the injury.

12/19/2005

McNair completed 23 of 38 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-24 loss to the Seahawks Sunday. With the performance, the Titans' quarterback surpassed 3,000 yards for the fifth time in his career and fourth in the last five seasons.

12/15/2005

McNair's left ankle was still a bit sore on Wednesday, so the Titans decided to hold him out of practice. The veteran quarterback, who watched from the sidelines, is expected to return to the field on Thursday and be ready for Sunday's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.

12/10/2005

McNair practiced in seven-on-seven drills for the first time all week Friday, Dec. 9, but didn't take part in team drills, the Tennessean reported. The Pro Bowl quarterback is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, but coach Jeff Fisher said he expected McNair to be ready to play.

12/7/2005

Nursing back, shin, and ankle and injuries, McNair did not practice with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday. However, none of the ailments are considered serious, and the veteran quarterback is expected to return to the field within the next day or two. Barring any setbacks, he will be under center for Sunday's meeting with the Houston Texans.

12/5/2005

Already nursing a sore hip and back, McNair temporarily was knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts after suffering a bruised right shin in the third quarter. After being evaluated on the sidelines, the veteran quarterback was able to return to the Titans' lineup and finish the game. He was 22 of 33 for 220 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

11/28/2005

In Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers, McNair did not appear to be limited by the strained hip that forced him to miss some practice time last week. The veteran quarterback took advantage of the league's worst passing defense, going 23 of 41 for 343 yards and three touchdowns -- both season highs. He threw one interception, but avoided being sacked for just the third time this year.

11/22/2005

McNair likely won't work out with the Titans on Wednesday, but barring any setbacks, he'll be back on the field for Thursday's practice, according to head coach Jeff Fisher. The veteran quarterback suffered a minor hip strain in last weekend's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and currently is listed as day-to-day. In nine games this season, he has completed 62.6 percent of his pass attempts for 11 touchdowns, eight interceptions and 227.3 yards per contest.

11/4/2005

McNair was able to practice with the team on Thursday and Friday, and Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher said that McNair will be the starting quarterback on Sunday when the Titans face off with the Browns. The former All-Pro has been dealing with back spasms that had him listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

11/2/2005

Not wanting to risk his back flaring up again, the Tennessee Titans held McNair out of practice on Wednesday, even though he said he could have taken the field. According to head coach Jeff Fisher, the move was purely precautionary, and the veteran quarterback will be back under center for the team's workout on Thursday.

10/26/2005

McNair took all of the snaps with the Titans' first-team offense and reported no problems with his troublesome back and ankle. Despite being listed as questionable on the injury report, the veteran quarterback, who did not travel to Arizona for last Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, is expected to return to the lineup for this weekend's matchup with the Oakland Raiders.

10/24/2005

According to Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, McNair reported no problems after making some throws during the team's limited workout on Monday. The quarterback, who did not travel to Arizona for Sunday's loss to the Cardinals because of a sore back and ankle, is expected to return to the lineup for next weekend's matchup with the Oakland Raiders, barring any setbacks.

10/22/2005

McNair did not accompany the team to Arizona and has officially been declared out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals with back and ankle injuries. Billy Volek will make his 10th career start at QB in McNair's place.

10/21/2005

McNair missed practice again Friday, and he will be a game-time decision as starting quarterback when the Titans visit the Arizona Cardinals Sunday.

10/20/2005

After missing practice on Wednesday with a sore back and ankle, McNair was absent from the Titans' workouts again on Thursday, but instead for personal reasons. According to head coach Jeff Fisher, the quarterback's health has improved over the past couple of days, and he is expected to return to the field on Friday.

10/10/2005

McNair led the Tennessee Titans to a 34-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, going 22 of 31 for 220 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also added a one-yard score on the ground and avoided being sacked for the first time this season. With the performance, the veteran quarterback became the second player in franchise history and 49th in NFL history to top 25,000 career yards passing.

10/2/2005

McNair has been downgraded to questionable on the Titans' injury report. Suffering from a sore foot, but reporting no problems during the week's workouts, McNair should be ready to play on Sunday despite the injury. With McNair's history of gutting out injuries, he's expected to play through the pain on Sunday against the Colts.

9/30/2005

McNair was back on the field with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday after skipping Wednesday's practice to rest a sore foot. The quarterback, who was stepped on during last week's action, reported no problems following the workout and plans to be in the lineup on Sunday. He is listed as probable.

9/29/2005

McNair was nursing some minor soreness in his foot on Wednesday, so the Tennessee Titans decided to hold him out of practice as a precautionary measure. The veteran quarterback, who was added to the injury report, is slated to work out with the team on Thursday, according to head coach Jeff Fisher.

8/11/2005

McNair has fully recovered from bone-grafting procedure he underwent on his injured sternum last December, and he will be under center when the Titans face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a preseason contest on Friday. The quarterback is so confident in the status of the bone, he will not wear the protective vest that he had been sporting since last season.
