Angels not interested in Jake Locker
Jake Locker retired from the NFL on Tuesday, leading to speculation that he may pursue a baseball career. If so, the Los Angeles Angels own his rights. They selected him in the tenth round of the 2009 draft and signed him for $300,000. General manager Jerry Dipoto isn't interested, however. “We’re not interested in him as a baseball player,” Dipoto told MLBlogs' Alden Gonzalez. “We’re going to focus on the guys we have. We have enough going on.” The Angels would release Locker if he wants to pursue a baseball career. The team signed him two years before Dipoto joined the Angels. "“We weren’t really on him when I was in Arizona," he said. "Generally with the two-sport guys who we don’t think have interest in being a baseball player we don’t waste our time.”

Titans QB Zach Mettenberger's injury not considered to be serious
Tennessee Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters Titans rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger's shoulder injury is not considered to be serious and they are hopeful he can play Sunday against the Giants, per the team's official website.
