NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee right tackle David Stewart has missed three straight practices with a sore shoulder, and now the Titans have to decide whether it’s better to sit the veteran Sunday against Jacksonville and give him a little bit more rest.

Coach Mike Munchak said Friday that Stewart is questionable and they’ll decide Saturday if he will miss his third game this season.

The nine-year veteran has started all 116 games he has played since moving into the starting lineup in his second season in 2006. He also missed a win at St. Louis on Nov. 3 and a loss to the Jaguars on Nov. 10. Byron Stingily or Mike Otto would start if Stewart doesn’t play.

Defensive tackle Mike Martin also is questionable after hurting an ankle in practice Thursday.
