Marcus Mariota has right knee injury

Dec 20, 2015

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is battling his second knee injury of the 2015 season.

Mariota was forced from Sunday's game in the second quarter with a right knee injury. He did not return to the game, giving way to Zach Mettenberger.

The rookie signal-caller took a hit from Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins when running back Antonio Andrews missed a block.

Fantasy Impact:

Although the injury does not appear to be serious, the Titans opted to stick with Mettenberger for the final two quarters versus a New England pass rush winning the battle at the line of scrimmage. Mariota was fitted for several different braces and was seen jogging on the sideline to test the knee.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
