On Tuesday, Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said that he wasn’t sure whether quarterback Marcus Mariota would play in Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Vikings.
Whisenhunt said he didn’t think there was a magic number of reps for a player to take in order to be ready for the regular season although he did add, via the Tennessean, that “you defeat the purpose of what you’re trying to accomplish if you tell somebody he’s not playing in the game.” It seems that Whisenhunt has opted not to deliver that message to Mariota.
