Tennessee Titans QB Mariota 'good to go' Sunday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota made it through a complete practice without issue on Wednesday, resulting in a thumbs up from head coach Mike Vrabel.

Mariota left the season-opening loss at Miami last week with an elbow injury.

"He made it through everything," Vrabel said of Mariota practicing Wednesday. "Barring any setbacks, Marcus is going to be good to go on Sunday."

The Titans host the Houston Texans this week.

"I am feeling pretty good," Mariota said after Wednesday's practice. "I am kind of taking it one day at a time, but I was able to go through practice today and felt pretty good. For me, I just went through practice and felt it went fine.

"Being able to go out and practice today, and being able to throw it around. It felt good."

Left tackle Taylor Lewan is in the concussion protocol. Vrabel said on Monday that he felt Lewan was targeted by Dolphins defensive tackle Alan Branch. Field microphones picked up Branch yelling what sounds like "bodybag" when Lewan was being helped off the field.

Vrabel, who was biting his tongue for most of the Lewan discussion, said he "knows things were said" on the sideline.

"He will not be out here. He will not do anything until he is ready," Vrabel said of Lewan.

The Titans worked Week 1 without their other starting tackle, Jack Conklin, who is recovering from a season-ending knee injury in January.
