NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is "optimistic" he'll be able to start Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts after failing to finish the team's Week 16 win.
"I am just trying to get back and finding every way I can to be available," Mariota said Wednesday. "Of course I am optimistic. This is what it's about. We're playing for everything. I am doing everything I can day and night to get ready. You find every little treatment or rehab to get back out there. That's been my main focus."
Mariota suffered a stinger injury in Saturday's win over Washington and said he felt numbness in his right side after the hit.
