The Tennesee Titans are set to head into an all-or-nothing season finale matchup against the Indianapolis Colts with a trip to the playoffs on the line.
In the days prior to the contest, there have been some questions concerning the health of quarterback Marcus Mariota as he works through an elbow injury. Mariota was able to take some encouraging steps forward in his recovery with a return to the practice field on Thursday, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
The Titans got some welcome news Thursday when quarterback Marcus Mariota returned to practice.
Mariota was working with no tape on his hand and no noticeable discomfort as he threw passes at the start of practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.
Mariota had suffered the injury during last Saturday's 25-16 win over the Washington Redskins. He was forced to exit the game prematurely that placed backup Blaine Gabbert into the fold.
It has been a troubling 2018 campaign for Mariota as he has struggled to stay healthy as he missed a game earlier this season due to another elbow injury. On top of that, he has also had difficulty taking steps forward with his play on the field as he continues to show a lack of progression as a passer.
If he's unable to give it a go, it will see Gabbert get the call under center. However, Mariota did state earlier this week that he would do whatever to get on the field for Sunday's game.
