Titans rookie Britt to start again with Gage still sidelined

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans receiver Justin Gage is out for Monday night's game against the Houston Texans with broken bones in his lower back.

Gage has not practiced since breaking the transverse process bones in his back at San Francisco on Nov. 8. Rookie Kenny Britt will make a second consecutive start at Houston.

• Monday: Titans at Texans, 8:30 p.m. ET

Coach Jeff Fisher also ruled out linebacker Colin Allred because of a hamstring injury that kept him out of a third straight practice Saturday.

Starting linebacker David Thornton (hip) and defensive tackle Jason Jones (shoulder) were limited Saturday, and Fisher said both will be questionable Monday.

Safety Kevin Kaesviharn missed practice for a personal matter and Fisher is hoping he will play in the game.
