ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Marcus Mariota (questionable, stinger) is not expected to play Sunday night against the Colts.
Mariota was trending toward playing, so this comes as a surprise. The Titans don't want to put Mariota's long-term throwing ability at risk with a setback but are hoping he could return for the postseason if they advance. It's a huge downgrade for Tennessee's offense. Blaine Gabbert will start if Mariota is held out, with Austin Davis backing him up.
