Kurt WarnerCardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is inactive for Sunday's game at Tennessee, one week after suffering a concussion in Arizona's win over St. Louis.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Warner woke up Sunday morning with a sore neck. Warner left Arizona's Week 11 win before halftime, but participated in practice this week and appeared on course to start against the Titans.

With Warner is unable to go, Matt Leinart will make his first start since Week 5 of 2007. Leinart replaced Warner last week -- completing 10 of 14 passes for 78 yards -- but the Rams outscored Arizona 10-0 with Warner out out the lineup.

Leinart against the Titans' Vince Young provides a quarterbacking rematch of the epic Jan. 4, 2006 BCS national title game between USC and Texas. In that game, Young's Longhorns beat Leinart's Trojans, 41-38.

Leinart has played in five games for Arizona this season, completing 17 of 25 passes for 119 yards.
