Marcus Mariota (stinger) expected to start vs. Texans
NFL Network's Shaun O'Hara and Willie McGinest break down what you can expect from the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans in Week 12.
The Tennessee Titans should have their starting quarterback on the field for a pivotal division matchup Monday night versus the Houston Texans.
Marcus Mariota got in a full practice on Friday, and head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that the signal-caller is expected to start.
Mariota left last weekend's loss to the Indianapolis Colts with a stinger. He was limited in practice earlier this week.
Getting Mariota back under center is a big boon for an up-and-down Titans offense in an immense matchup as Tennessee (5-5) attempts to stay alive in a cluttered AFC playoff race. A win would put the Titans within a game of the Texans in the AFC South race. Facing a Houston defense that excels at pressuring the quarterback, the Titans need an effective Mariota to get back on track.
