Marcus Mariota – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Marcus Mariota, who suffered a stinger in last Sunday’s game, was a full participant in practice on Friday and is expected to start on Monday night against the Houston Texans (7-3).
Mariota was limited in practice the previous two days after sustaining what is listed as neck injury when he was sacked late in the second quarter by Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis. He did not return against in the second half as the Titans (5-5) went down to a 38-10 defeat. “He felt better,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. ” … It looked good today, but that’s why you practice. You try to always improve and get better. I would imagine that Marcus is going to be the starting quarterback after being not limited, and full, and probably hope to start.” Mariota, said earlier in the week that he was working through some numbness in his right arm as a result of the stinger and that the injury is not related to the elbow injury he suffered earlier in the season, although the symptoms are similar.
