Marcus Mariota: Reportedly done for season
The Tennessee Titans went to the AFC pinnacle of football on Sunday and got a first-hand look at how a team with injuries at every key offensive position and a sick quarterback can execute just enough to put a 3-10 team away early, and cruise to a win.

ESPN is reporting the Titans quarterback will miss the final two games after spraining the MCL in his right knee on Sunday, though the team is leaving open the possibility he’ll play in Week 17. Mularkey said the sprain will keep the rookie out of Sunday’s home finale with Houston, but that Mariotawill be re-evaluated after that game and wants to play the season finale at Indianapolis on January 3.
Mariota left Sunday’s game in the second quarter with a right knee injury. He has thrown for 2,818 yards and 19 touchdowns this season. He has a quarterback rating of 91.5.
“I don’t think it’s serious, no”, he said.
The Titans would be fools to risk a more serious injury to Mariota by sending him back on the field this season. Zach Mettenberger relieved Mariota and hit on 20 of 28 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
“He did some really good things, there’s some things I know he’d like to take back and he’s got to quit doing trying to force some of the deeper throws when they’re not there”, Mularkey said of Mettenberger.
The Titans are expected to sign Mike Kafka on their practice squad. They still hold the No. 1 draft pick for 2016, something this franchise hasn’t had since trading with Tampa Bay for the selection in 1978.
“Why not ruin it for somebody else who can?” wide receiver Kendall Wright said.

On the Titans side of the story, once again a slow start kept this team out of the win column. He finished that game, but then missed two weeks.
