Optimistic Fisher says Young is day-to-day

Tennessee Titans
01/01/2008 9:14 AM The Nashville Tennessean reports Titans QB Vince Young could make some history in Sunday's playoff game at San Diego — if his injured right quadriceps allows it. Coach Jeff Fisher remained optimistic Monday that the second-year pro will be able to practice this week and make his playoff debut against the Chargers. The 24-year-old Young, who re-injured the quad in a playoff-clinching victory at Indianapolis on Sunday night, would become the youngest quarterback in franchise history to start a postseason game. Fisher made no promises, however. He said Young underwent treatment but no further tests Monday, when the quarterback was unavailable to reporters. Read more

Fox plans Panthers' future

Carolina Panthers

Sapp says a decision about his future will come quickly

Oakland Raiders
01/01/2008 8:55 AM The San Francisco Chronicle reports Raiders veteran DL Warren Sapp stood on the sideline, right by the 50-yard line, and faced the eastern stands at the Coliseum. He put his left hand over his belly, smiled and took a bow - possibly for the last time as a Raider or otherwise - before heading to the locker room after Sunday's season-ending 30-17 loss to the Chargers. "I've got a decision to make," said Sapp, age 35, after his 13th season in the NFL. "That decision is going to come pretty quick because I'm not one to sit around and waver. "It's going to take me one week to make that decision. I'll be safe with that." Sapp, who signed with the Raiders in 2004, has three years left on his contract. He's owed a base salary of $5.15 million next year, so there's also a chance the Raiders will release him if he doesn't retire. Read more
