Titans will wear decal to honor McNair

"The Titans plan to honor late quarterback Steve McNair by wearing a No. 9 decal on the back of their helmets during the 2009 season, an NFL source said Wednesday.

 

The decal will be worn starting with Sunday's preseason opener against the Bills in the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.

 

The Titans went through the NFL to get the decal approved. Because the Titans will wear a patch commemorating the AFL's 50th-year celebration, another patch on the team's uniforms wasn't an option. Teams are allowed to wear just one patch during the season.

 

McNair, shot and killed July 4, wore No. 9 while playing from 1995-2005 with the organization. He threw for 27,141 yards and 156 touchdowns as a Titan and was the league's co-MVP in 2003.

 

The Titans are also working on other ways to honor McNair this season. Last season he was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor at LP Field."
