Coach Mike Vrabel has stated both Blaine Gabbert and Marcus Mariota will play Sunday.

Mariota was already a guy to avoid, and perhaps be dropped to the wire in most one-quarterback leagues. There are much better streaming options this week anyway. Check out our streaming series, Waiver Wire Watch or Sneaky Starts for several replacement options.

Mike Vrabel was quoted as saying Marcus Mariota practiced and is, "feeling good." He also said that barring a setback, Mariota is good to go on Sunday.

Marcus Mariota was not very good Sunday, and he was really bad after a shoulder/elbow injury robbed him of some feeling in his fingers. He floated two passes that turned into interceptions and sat the rest of the way. He finished 9 for 16 for 103 yards, no touchdowns and the two picks, for a tidy quarterback rating of 37.4.

He said afterward he probably should have thought better of returning after the injury.

The story seemed concerned about Mariota and his injuries, and said he needs to get back from injury fast and figure things out in this offense because a lot is still new. A lack of precision as a key to his struggles. The story added this is a big season for Mariota and his future with the team. But owners will have to keep an eye on his status for next week against the Texans now.

Wide receiver Corey Davis was a no-show at Sunday's practice after fully participating — and looking great — Saturday. Davis, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft, might be the most important player on the Titans outside of quarterback Marcus Mariota this upcoming season.

"By plan, there’s a lot of guys who will be practicing and a lot of guys that won’t," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. "I would say that he’s one of these guys that, by plan, wasn’t working today."

Vrabel then elaborated further:

"It’s based on the fact that one, we’re going to need Corey Davis to play a lot of football for us," he said. "Two, there’s a difference between somebody like me running out there for two hours and a guy like Corey… It’s a lot of powerful movements, explosive movements, so we just wanted to make sure that he’s ready to go tomorrow (when) we’ll put the ball down in a more simulated-type scrimmage."

Seems as if it was by design so no need to worry. As the story said, Davis has looked good so far after some big fantasy expectations and lots of fantasy disappointment last year.
