NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker has left the game Sunday after hurting his left shoulder tackling Patriots safety Patrick Chung at the end of a fumble return early in the fourth quarter.
Locker reached out for Chung and was hurt at the end of a 49-yard return. Chung had picked up the ball forced out by Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo on a 23-yard reception by Nate Washington that left the receiver prone on the field.
The quarterback making his first career start walked to the sideline holding his left arm up against his body. But he quickly was throwing a ball on the sideline while veteran Matt Hasselbeck went into the game after officials overturned the original play as an incompletion.
Team officials had no immediate update on Locker or Washington.
