Nice to meet you, Rusty Smith.
The rookie QB from Florida Atlantic is making his NFL debut for the Titans against the Redskins, taking over for an injured Vince Young during the second half in Tennessee.
Young injured his right thumb during the third quarter and was taken to the locker room briefly before returning to the sideline. He spent a considerable amount of time warming up, at one point trying a white glove on his throwing hand, but he didn’t return for the Titans’ next series.
It would appear Young is having issues comfortably gripping the ball. Officially, his return is questionable.
Young appeared to be injured when he hit his hand on a helmet during a 37-yard completion to Nate Washington. Young was 12-of-16 passing for 165 yards before leaving.
The Titans are now in the hands of Smith, a sixth-round pick in last April’s draft.
