Young's suicide talk led Titans to call the police

  • Follow NFL

The Tennessee Titans called police for help searching for Vince Young because his therapist told coach Jeff Fisher the quarterback mentioned suicide several times before driving away from his home with a gun.

Both Fisher and Young have said what happened Monday was overblown by the media. But a supplemental report filed by Nashville police showed Fisher was worried what his quarterback might be doing after the call from Young's therapist.

"I asked him, 'What made her worry about him?' Lt. Andrea Swisher wrote. "He stated, 'His mood, his emotions, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.' He went on to state that he left the house with a gun."

BRONCOS: Receiver Brandon Marshall pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in a drunken- driving case and was sentenced to a year of probation.

JAGUARS: Wide receiver Troy Williamson , a former Silver Bluff High and University of South Carolina standout, will miss Sun-day's game against Buffalo with a thigh injury.

STEELERS: Cornerback Deshea Townsend is not expected to play Sunday in Cleveland because of a bruised heel.

BROWNS: A star-struck police officer who made a traffic stop on wide receiver Braylon Edwards let the player go without a speeding ticket, a suburban police chief said. Edwards has since been served with the ticket.

FINED: Redskins guard Pete Kendall and Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce were each fined $5,000 by the league for their actions during a push-and-shove incident in the teams' opener.

NO DEAL: The Giants and Jets ended negotiations on stadium naming rights with a German insurance company that once had ties to the Nazis.

Allianz had been seeking a deal to put its name on the stadium being built by both teams.

The company once insured Nazi death camps and refused to pay life insurance claims to its Jewish clients -- instead granting the proceeds to the Nazis.

DOWN TIME: After nearly 25 years aloft, the roof on the RCA Dome in Indianapolis will be coming down.

The 16 large fans that keep the fabric roof inflated will be turned off on Sept. 24. Once that happens, the roof will sink into the stadium.

The roof will be cut into pieces and sold as memorabilia.
