NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Vince Young has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will not play Sunday at Cincinnati. Young got the results of an MRI exam Tuesday, hours after the Titans sought police help in finding the quarterback the team described as "emotionally down" after he had been booed by fans.

Young's agent said Tuesday afternoon there was no need for concern because the quarterback was at a friend's house watching football.

"When people were worried about him, I was on the phone talking to him," agent Major Adams said. "I didn't know there was any confusion about where he was as if he was missing or whatever. He just said, 'Hey, I'm over here watching the game.' ... Then I start getting all these frantic calls."

Young left his home around 7 p.m. Monday without a phone, prompting the Titans to call Nashville police for help.

In other news, the NFL Network reported that the Titans will sign former Bucs quarterback Chris Simms, pending a physical. Simms was released by the Bucs on Aug. 30.

Chargers' Merriman Opts For Surgery

SAN DIEGO - Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has decided to have surgery on the two torn ligaments in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.

The Pro Bowl linebacker said he would play through the injury to try to help the team reach the Super Bowl, but he struggled in Sunday's last-second loss to the Panthers.

JAGUARS: A detective in the shooting of Jaguars tackle Richard Collier said investigators believe the player was targeted and that the shooting was not related to an earlier confrontation at a nightclub.

DOLPHINS: Placed rookie starting guard Donald Thomas on injured reserve with a foot injury.
