More details have emerged about Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young and his reported emotional state that led to his brief disappearance last Monday.

Young, who sprained his left medial collateral ligament during last Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, told reporters that the entire media account of his activity last Monday was overblown.

However, a supplemental report filed Tuesday by Nashville police showed that Coach Jeff Fisher said he was told by Young’s therapist, Sheila Peters, that the quarterback had spoken of suicide, left home with a gun and was nowhere to be found.  Based on that information, Fisher contacted the police for help in finding him.

“I asked [Fisher], ‘What made [the therapist] worry about him?’ Lt. Andrea Swisher wrote in her report. “He stated, ‘His mood, his emotions, he wants to quit, and he mentioned suicide several times.’ He went on to state that he left the house with a gun.”

Young’s manager, Mike Mu, told police he had tried to follow Young when the quarterback left his home. But Mu said he couldn’t keep up with Young on Interstate 65 despite driving 90 mph.

During the search for Young, Peters arranged for an evaluation by employees from a psychiatric hospital in Nashville. There were also police and crisis negotiators on hand at the Titans facility waiting to speak with Young.

About four hours after Young drove off to parts unknown, Fisher heard from Young’s agent that the quarterback was safe and at an apartment with a female friend watching Monday Night Football and eating chicken wings.

“I was never depressed,” Young told reporters after practice Thursday, stressing his commitment to football has never waivered. “Football, this is my life. This is my dream. All I did all these years growing up to get to this point and never had an injury like this before in my life.”

“It’s a hard time because I’m a competitor, and I definitely want to be out on the football field with my teammates,” he said.

Young explained he was emotionally down for about half a day on Monday because of his two interceptions against the Jaguars. Fisher told Young to go take the MRI exam needed to determine the extent of the damage to his knee. Young didn’t go. But with so many people at his house, Young said, he needed space to think.

“Let the cloud go away for a minute, and that’s what I did. I left. My mom seen me; she thought I wasn’t in my right mind. At the same time, I was watching the game, watching Aaron Rodgers do his things … eating some hot wings,” Young said.

Young didn’t talk about the police, including crisis negotiators, waiting for him at the Titans’ headquarters when he arrived to talk with Fisher nor what they discussed. He thanked the franchise for being behind him.

Meanwhile, Young’s mother, Felicia Young, said she is worried about her son’s emotional state.

“Vince has gone through a whole lot as a young person,” Felicia Young said. “And I think he has done pretty well up to this point. But it is hard, all he is going through right now. He’s hurting inside and out. But he will be fine if people are prayerful and help my baby boy out. He is a young man. He just needs a lot of love and support.”
