The Tennessee Titans’ secondary took a big hit – so to speak – when Pittsburghlive.com reported that the team changed cornerback Cortland Finnegan’s gametime status from questionable to out; the change took plae on Saturday.

He had been previously listed on Friday as questionable after missing three days of practice. With his absence from Sunday’s game against New England, this will be the third consecutive game that Finnegan has missed due to injury since hurting his right hamstring on September in the Titans’ loss to the New York Jets on September 27.

Finnegan’s absence will likely mean that rookie Jason McCourty will make his second straight start at CB.
