NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A Marcus Mariota sprint, dive to the pylon and rushing touchdown resulted first in Tennessee Titans jubilation then angst. A hamstring injury cost him the second half of a 57-14 loss against the Texans, and now the Titans are hoping it doesn’t rob him of much more.
The Titans aren’t a good team without Mariota. It’s the way they were built, for better or worse. This week will be about Mariota’s health, following his MRI results, and how the Titans respond to it.
“Marcus is one of the tougher guys I’ve ever played with,” left tackle Taylor Lewan said.
