Titans quarterback Jake Locker practiced fully on Wednesday and is expected to start on Sunday against the Browns (noon, WTVF-5, 104.5-FM).

Locker missed last Sunday's game against the Colts with a right wrist injury. He said he had no issues in practice Wednesday.

"It is hard to have to sit and watch games,'' Locker said. "To have a chance to go back out there and compete with the guys you work with day and day out, it's exciting."

After a solid game against the Chiefs, Locker played poorly in losses to the Cowboys and the Bengals. He threw four interceptions combined and posted passer ratings of 60.2 and 41.9.

Charlie Whitehurst started against the Colts, who hammered the Titans 41-17.

Locker is 57-of-101 for 685 yards, with three touchdowns and four interceptions. He has a passer rating of 70.8. He knows he has to play better if the Titans (1-3) are going to turn things around.

"When you are not winning and things are not going the way you'd like them to go, I've always believed the first place you have to look is at yourself, and it is no different in this situation,'' Locker said.

"Just the details, executing the details in a play can make a big difference. And making a tough throw. It is not always going to be wide open and you have to find ways to complete contested passes in this league, and we have to do a better job of that."
