Colin McCarthy improving, but still not practicing

Titans middle linebacker Colin McCarthy (ankle) is no longer wearing a walking boot, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to get back on the field. He has not practiced since getting hurt against the Patriots on Sept. 9.

McCarthy wouldn’t say if he has a high-ankle sprain: “It’s just the ankle,” he said. “I don’t know what it is.”

Indications are he still needs more time to recover, however, which makes him unlikely to play Sunday against the Lions. McCarthy said he’s not in a great deal of pain, and has been rehabbing in a pool.

“I am getting better,” McCarthy said. “I am just trying to get on the field as soon as I can and am improving day to day. I am just staying positive.”
