McNair doesn’t practice with sore foot

NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair didn’t practice Wednesday because of a sore foot, but coach Jeff Fisher said McNair should be back on the field Thursday.

Both McNair and receiver Drew Bennett, who were not listed on the early injury report, sat out practice because of sore feet. Both were added to the injury report after practice.

“I think both of them will practice tomorrow,” Fisher said.

Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who missed last week’s 31-27 loss at St. Louis with a sprained left knee, remains questionable. Fisher said both Haynesworth and receiver Courtney Roby (left turf toe) are improving.

Linebacker Peter Sirmon could have practiced but didn’t. He played last weekend despite an injury to his right knee.

“What we wanted was to just shut him down. He did a great job getting back last week. We kept him out of change-of-direction things and got some conditioning and shut him down,” Fisher said.
