NASHVILLE -- Matt Hasselbeck will start for the Tennessee Titans against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, barring any setback.

Hasselbeck practiced fully on Friday despite an injured left calf. He will be listed as questionable, but is expected to start.

Titans coach Mike Munchak says Hasselbeck looked good and was able to do quite a bit.

Hasselbeck was knocked out of last week's loss to New Orleans in the second quarter when he pulled the calf muscle and began limping. That gave way to rookie Jake Locker.

Locker did some work with the first team Friday, but is expected to return to a backup role on Sunday.

Receiver Nate Washington also practiced on Friday despite an injured left ankle.
