Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young sits on the bench with ice on his knee after leaving the game Sunday.

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher adamantly downplayed parts of a police report that said quarterback Vince Young had threatened suicide, ESPN reported Sunday.

"Some of that stuff in the report was just flat-out wrong ...erroneous," Fisher said, ESPN reported. "It's not an accurate portrayal of the events. I know. I was in the middle of it. And Vince is fine and he's going to be fine ...there's going to be a positive outcome."

Fisher said he felt parts of the police report were misleading, saying Young never appeared at the stadium, "let alone going off ... with a gun,' as the report had said, ESPN reported.

Fisher also said Young doesn't have his own therapist, and that the team therapist was called by a staff member of Young's, ESPN reported.

Mike Mu, a marketing manager for Young, called Titans therapist Sheila Peters to say Young had left home without his cell phone, threatening to quit, and was driving with a guin in his car after talking about suicide, Fisher said, according to ESPN.

"Look, when I got the call from Sheila, she was reacting on (Mu's) story and I had no way to reach Vince because he didn't have his phone. So I did what anybody would do — I called the police," Fisher said, ESPN reported. "Once the police are involved, there's certain protocol that has to be followed.

"So when Vince finally got home later that night, he called me and said, 'What's up?' I told him he had to come down to the facility to meet with the police. Vince said, 'I'm fine, coach.' I said, 'I know you're fine but there's a protocol now and you have to come down here and see the police face-to-face.' And he did. They talked to him. Yes, there was a gun in the car -- you can't say that's unusual with players these days -- but it wasn't loaded and the police didn't have a problem with it. Then Sheila spoke with him and determined he was all right, too. And everybody went home."

Young seemed happy and laughed a bit Thursday when he discussed the past few days with reporters. He blamed his mother for overreacting and the media for making too much of nothing.

“Now I am OK. I was never depressed. I just hurt a little bit ... When it happens again, I’ll know how to handle it,” Young said.

Concerns over Young’s mental state began last Sunday when he was booed heavily after throwing his second interception in the Titans’ 17-10 victory over Jacksonville, and he didn’t look like he wanted to go back into the game for the next possession.

Fisher did say Young had been frustrated after being booed.

Young didn't travel with the Titans to Cincinnati. Fisher said Friday injured players stay home to continue treatment. Kerry Collins is set to start.
