NFL Notebook: QB Young is benched by Fisher

excerpt:

Tennessee quarterback Vince Young sat out last night's exhibition with the Washington Redskins, and coach Jeff Fisher said the punishment was for violating an unspecified team rule.

The 2006 offensive rookie of the year had been due to play three or four series and start the Titans' first preseason game. But Fisher said in a statement about an hour before kickoff that backup Kerry Collins would start the game instead.

"He will be on the sideline tonight, will practice this week and play next weekend at New England," Fisher said in the release.

it was a curfew violation

Young sits in loss - Nashville, Tennessee - Sunday, 08/12/07 - Tennessean.com

excerpt:

Young broke curfew by spending Friday night at home instead of at the hotel where the team stays during camp. Players with less than four years experience are required to stay at the hotel.

As Young suffered the consequences of breaking a rule, so did the LP Field crowd that watched four quarters of dull football.

"I made a decision to not allow Vince to play in the ball game for violating a team rule, period. End of story,'' Coach Jeff Fisher said. "He will be back practicing Monday with his teammates. He is our starting quarterback and we like him. He is going to be a good quarterback. … I am done talking about it.''
