Warner sits vs Titans week after hitting head

Posted - 11/29/2009 at 12:56PM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner isn't playing Sunday against the Tennessee Titans as a precaution a week after hitting his head against the turf. That gives Matt Leinart his first start since 2007.
Warner practiced throughout the week and had been listed as questionable. But the Cardinals (7-3) host the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 6 in a key NFC game. So coach Ken Whisenhunt played it safe and deactivated Warner, snapping the quarterback's starts streak at 41.

Leinart finished up for Arizona last week when Warner left a win at St. Louis after feeling foggy. He hadn't started since Oct. 7, 2007 at St. Louis, where he suffered a season-ending collarbone injury.
