An MRI revealed no structural damage to starting quarterback Jake Locker’s wrist, according to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean.

Still, Locker’s not totally in the clear. His status for the Titans’ Week 4 matchup versus the Colts is not known at the moment and Tennessee will have to spend the week evaluating its starting quarterback.
Jake Locker's availablity for #Colts will be determined later in the week. Back-up Charlie Whitehust on call

Biggest issue for #Titans QB Jake Locker is can he grip a football (mildly important)? Will find out as the week goes. Playing indoor helps.

Against a tough team like the Colts, Locker’s presence will surely be needed. Andrew Luck is going to put points on the board and Tennessee needs a quarterback that is at least capable of going tit-for-tat with the Indy quarterback if they are to pull off the upset.
Through three games, Locker is 57-101 for 685 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions.
The Titans selected Locker with the No. 8 overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft.
