Nashville, TN (SportsNetwork. http://www.shopdetroitlionsnfl.com/lions-golden-tate-iii-black-jersey/
.com) - The Tennessee Titans have placed quarterback Jake Locker on injured
reserve and added quarterback Jordan Palmer to the active roster. Locker
separated his left shoulder in Sundays 16-11 loss to the New York Jets. He was
hurt in the second quarter when he was hit by linebacker Quinton Coples after
delivering a pass. A first-round pick by the Titans in 2011, Lockers career has
been interrupted by multiple injuries. He missed time earlier this season
because of a right thumb injury before losing the starting job to rookie Zach
Mettenberger. Locker completed 86-of-146 passes for 993 yards with five
touchdowns and seven interceptions in seven games. Palmer adds depth to the
injury-riddled position. Locker made his first start since Week 5 only because
Mettenberger was out with a right shoulder injury. The younger brother of
Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer, Jordan has only four games of NFL experience.
Charlie Whitehurst, who relieved Locker against the Jets, is expected to start
Thursdays game at Jacksonville.

. No, the San Antonio star didnt announce retirement plans during an off day at
the NBA Finals on Wednesday.CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Al Jefferson had a pretty good
inkling it was Charlottes night when he banked in a 31-footer from well beyond
the top of the key to beat the shot clock midway through the fourth quarter. "I
didnt call the bank, but I trusted my right hand," Jefferson said with a laugh.
Jefferson scored 34 points and the Bobcats stunned NBA-leading Indiana 109-87
Wednesday night, handing the Pacers just their second two-game skid of the
season. Jefferson was 16 of 25 from the field and had eight rebounds for the
Bobcats (28-33), who won their fifth straight at home to equal their combined
win total from the previous two seasons. "Im not accepting that were a team that
guys look at on the schedule anymore and say, OK, we have the Bobcats (so) we
can take the night off." Jefferson said. Jefferson, whose 38-point, 19-rebound
effort Monday night was overshadowed by LeBron James career-high 61-point
outing, has scored at least 20 points in 21 of his last 24 games. "I think
everybody needs to question the Eastern Conference voting on why Al Jefferson
wasnt on the All-Star team because clearly he is one of the best in the game,"
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "He showed it tonight. Give him credit."
Charlotte was finishing a brutal four-game stretch, becoming the first team
since the 2009-10 Knicks to play the NBAs top four teams in consecutive games.
They previously lost to San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Miami on the road, but
left no doubt about this this one. Charlotte jumped out to a 28-8 lead after the
first quarter and never trailed. Kemba Walker added 19 points and nine assists
for the Bobcats, who have the seventh-best record in the Eastern Conference.
Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said he thought his team played well in the road
losses to the Spurs, Thunder and Heat and that it carried over some confidence
to Wednesday night. "We played a lot of good basketball and you get nothing for
it," Clifford said. "To be honest, we took a day off (on Tuesday) and you could
tell from our shootaround, not that we were going to win, but that we were going
to play well." Evan Turner had 22 points for the Pacers (46-15), who lost
back-to-back games for only the second time this season. Charlottes
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist said he was "extra fired up" to deffend All-Star
Paul George, two nights after James destroyed the Bobcats by knocking down 8 of
10 3-pointers.

Kidd-Gilchrist did his job, holding George without a field goal. George was 0
for 9 and finished with just two points. Jefferson defended Kidd-Gilchrists
effort against Miami, saying he did the job asked of him against James. "Against
LeBron, the game plan was we didnt want him to get to the basket," Jefferson
said. "We want LeBron to shoot jumpers. If he hits 8 of 10 3-pointers, we can
live with that." George said he wasnt at the top of his game against Charlotte.
"I was sore," George said. "I tried to play through it thinking it would loosen
up. It was a tight night for me." The Pacers had won 14 of their last 15 against
the Bobcats coming in, including five straight by an average of nearly 18
points. But Indiana was sluggish from the start, shooting 4 of 20 from the field
in the opening quarter and turning the ball over six times, leading to 12
Charlotte points and a 20-point deficit. The Pacers, shooting at the home end of
the floor where some of the lights were out, were held to eight points -- the
fewest allowed in a quarter this season by the Bobcats. While the Pacers were
struggling on offence, Jefferson was at it again on the offensive end. He hit
his first six shots and had 20 points at the break. The Pacers would battle back
to cut the lead to four in the second quarter, but the Bobcats never surrendered
the lead and stretched the lead back to 18 again by the end of the third
quarter. The Bobcats shot 51 per cent from the field against the NBAs top
defensive team. The 22-point loss was the third-largest of the season for the
Pacers. "Charlottes a good basketball team," Vogel said. "Theyre rested. We are
coming in here in this situation in their house. We beat them pretty handily the
first couple of times. So, we knew they were going to come out and we were going
to have to play great and we didnt play great." NOTES: Chris Douglas-Roberts got
the start in place of Gerald Henderson, who missed his second straight game with
a strained calf. ... The only other time the Pacers lost back-to-back games this
season came Dec. 16 and 18 against Detroit and Miami. ... The Bobcats are 14-3
at home when scoring at least 91 points.
