Matthews watches practice with brace on knee
Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Bruce Matthews, who holds the NFL's current longest consecutive starts streak, watched the Tennessee Titans run through a light practice Wednesday with a heavy brace on his right knee.

Matthews, 39, sprained a knee ligament last weekend and was listed Wednesday as questionable for Monday night's game against Jacksonville. The left guard has started 202 consecutive games.

But the Titans did get left tackle Brad Hopkins back in practice after he missed a start due to a sprained right ankle. Receiver Yancey Thigpen, deactivated the past two games because of a strained hamstring, caught some passes during a drill and then ran on the side with receiver Carl Pickens (strained hamstring).

"We'll have to see how they both are tomorrow," coach Jeff Fisher said of Thigpen and Pickens, who missed the Titans' victory over Cincinnati last weekend.

Strong safety Blaine Bishop (hyperextended knee) also sat out the one-hour workout along with linebacker Terry Killens.
