Titans QB Jake Locker on his charity work and injury
Tonight's our first event. We are very fortunate to be working with M Street, K Prime hosting here, and Rosewall Franklin American Mortgage as our presenting sponsor. We are very thankful to them for making this possible and excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of families here in Middle Tennessee.
As for my foot, I have surgery on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to getting it fixed, starting the healing process, and I feel confident I'll come back stronger with no side effects. I'm excited to get back on the field when I get the opportunity.
Regarding the downtime, going through what I did last year prepares me to handle it better. It's important to listen to your body, be smart, allow things to heal correctly, and be willing to work hard. Sometimes you may need to push your timeline a bit, but it's crucial to ensure you're doing everything correctly.
