The Tennessee Titans are hoping to get quarterback Marcus Mariota back on the field before training camp.
Coach Mike Mularkey said Monday that his quarterback is expected to miss four to five months after having surgery this week to repair a broken fibula suffered in Saturday's loss to the Jaguars. That could put Mariota in line to return for organized team activities in the late spring.
Matt Cassel will get the start in Sunday's season finale against the playoff-bound Texans, with Alex Tanney to be added from the practice squad as a backup.
