NASHVILLE, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Two Titan defensive stars, tackle Albert Haynesworth and end Kyle Vanden Bosch, are expected to play in Saturday's AFC Divisional Playoff game with Baltimore.
Both players are listed as probable.
But Tennessee starting center Kevin Mawae will not play because of an elbow injury -- though his status was the subject of much debate earlier this week. Mawae ruled himself out before coach Jeff Fisher said he was day-to-day.
That means second-year lineman Leroy Harris is likely to start under center for the Titans in place of the 13-year veteran Mawae. Harris also started in Tennessee's regular-season finale against Indianapolis.
Haynesworth suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament of the knee in Week 15 against Houston, but the team already had clinched the AFC South and a first-round bye in the NFL playoffs.
Seven-year veteran Vanden Bosch has struggled with a groin injury throughout this season and played in just 10 games.
Also out for Tennessee are backup defensive end Dave Ball with a back injury and safety Tuff Harris with a calf injury.
