(Newser) – Nashville police reports shed a little more light on the Vince Young saga of earlier this week. The Titans asked police to look for him because he had mentioned suicide to his therapist after Sunday's loss and left his house with a gun, City Paper reports. The QB was tracked down at a friend's house, where he was watching football. Police found an unloaded weapon in his car's glove compartment. Young was booed and injured in Sunday's loss and admitted being rattled by it, but now says he's fine.

I asked him , 'What made her worry about him?’ He stated, ‘His mood, his emotions, he is injured, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.’
