Marcus Mariota will have surgery on his broken leg Wednesday in Charlotte, head coach Mike Mularkey said Monday.
Mariota's operation will include the insertion of a plate in his leg to fix a fractured fibula suffered in a loss to the Jaguars. Mariota's recovery process will be four to five months long, and the Titans hope to have Mariota back in time for some of OTAs, Mularkey added.
Mariota's season comes to a disappointing early finish. The second-year passer had the Titans in playoff contention through Week 16, but his injury sunk their comeback hopes and, with the loss, their postseason aspirations.
