NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jake Locker was the Titans starting quarterback. Then he was benched, forced to watch a rookie take his job. It has made this season one of Lockers toughest challenges.If that wasnt enough, due to an injury to rookie Zach Mettenberger, Locker is once again Tennessees starter. But with three games left this season and on his contract, Locker doesnt see it as an audition for another team — to him, its simply another chance to play with his teammates.Definitely I think that when you get caught up spending too much time on the future, you forget to cherish the moments that you have right now right in front of you, and thats what Im excited about, Locker said. I built a lot of relationships in this locker room, and ... Im looking forward to the opportunity to compete with these guys to end out the year.Locker was drafted eighth overall in 2011 to be the Titans quarterback for years to come. Injuries keeping him off the field, including two in the span of three games, prompted first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt to switch to the rookie Zach Mettenberger.But the rookie aggravated a sprained right shoulder last week when sacked for the fifth time. Whisenhunt and Mettenberger both say they hope the rookie can play again this season with time running out. So barring an impressive recovery, its Lockers time once again.Locker isnt rusty, having finished the last two games once Mettenberger was hurt. For the season, Locker has thrown for 936 yards completing 59.3 per cent of his passes with five touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has been sacked 14 times, including three after replacing Mettenberger in last weeks 36-7 loss to the Giants.Titans offensive co-ordinator Jason Michael said Thursday that Locker never batted an eye since being benched, and the coach credited Lockers professionalism for how he helped Mettenberger as the backup.With the Titans offensive line bruised and battered with both tackles missing the last two games, Lockers mobility could be a big advantage Sunday against the New York Jets (2-11). Left tackle Taylor Lewan couldnt practice Thursday with a sprained left ankle, while right tackle Michael Ohers left toe is so bad he got a second opinion Tuesday.We probably wont know for sure until Saturday whos going to actually line up for us, Whisenhunt said.Locker still ranks third in rushing for the Titans running 20 times for 135 yards despite not playing seven games. He ran only three times last year when the Titans beat the Jets 38-13, but Locker threw for three touchdowns. Jets coach Rex Ryan says he had been hoping to see the rookie quarterback rather than the very athletic Locker.He really carved us up, Ryan said. Again, we havent forgotten that, thats for sure.Locker had to be taken off the field on a stretcher with an injured hip and knee after bouncing between Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples. Locker is feeling very healthy right now and will be ready to run.Its something that God gifted me with, and when the opportunity presents itself Im going to take advantage of that, Locker said. So maybe itll slow their rush down a little bit. If so, thatd be something that is hopefully beneficial for us.Notes: S Michael Griffin (back) returned to practice Thursday, though he was limited along with OT Byron Stingily (ankle) and WR Kendall Wright (right hand). LB Kam Wimbley (left hamstring) and S Daimion Stafford also did not practice.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Teresa M.

The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., who trains out of San Diego, will fight bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey on July 5 in the co-main event of UFC 175 in Las Vegas. UFC president Dana White announced the matchup Friday night via Twitter. Davis responded via the same medium. "Somebody pinch me because I think Im still dreaming!! Lol. Christmas is coming July 5th in Vegas," she tweeted. Rousey (9-0) is the face of womens mixed martial arts and arguably the UFCs current biggest star. It will mark the 27-year-old Rouseys fourth title defence. She has already disposed of Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche, Miesha (Cupcake) Tate and Sara McMann. Davis is looking to join a select Canadian group of UFC title-holders or challengers. Montreals Georges St-Pierre was the longtime UFC welterweight champion before vacating his title in December to take some time away from the sport. Carlos (The Ronin) Newton of Newmarket, Ont., held the welterweight title in 2001. And Montreals Patrick (The Predator) Cote lost his middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva at UFC 90 in October 2008. Silva won by third-round TKO when Cote waas unable to continue due to a knee injury.dddddddddddd Canadians Harold Howard and Dave Beneteau were runners-up in the UFC 3 and 5 tournaments, respectively. Davis (16-5) has won eight of her last nine fights including all three in the UFC. But she faces a step up in class in Rousey, an Olympic judo bronze medallist who is the only 135-pound womens champion the UFC has ever had. Rousey has won eight of her nine fights in the first round, with eight of the wins via armbar. A pro since 2007, Daviss last loss was via majority decision in a March 2012 rematch in Strikeforce with Victorias Sarah Kaufman, currently No. 5 in the womens rankings. Davis, who has black belts in both traditional and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, has already beaten UFC opponents Carmouche, Rosi (The Surgeon) Sexton, and Jessica (Evil) Eye to rise to No. 2 in the rankings. No. 1 contender Cat Zingano has been sidelined by knee surgery and subsequent complications. The five-foot-five Davis started kick-boxing with a friend, then made the move to jiu-jitsu at 18. She switched to MMA after watching someone else in her gym training. Chris Weidman defends his UFC middleweight title against Lyoto (The Dragon) Machida in the UFC 175 main event.
