Mariota (neck/foot) will participate in a pregame warmup with the intention of playing Sunday against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Mariota, who is questionable with a stinger in the right side of his neck, will have a better idea about his status after warming up. He's not expected to be 100 percent for the contest but is hoping to play with a spot in the playoffs on the line. Given that the Colts and Titans are playing in the last game of the regular season at 8:20 p.m. EST, fantasy players in active season-long leagues wouldn't have any ideal alternatives at quarterback on hand beyond Andrew Luck and Blaine Gabbert in the event Mariota ends up being scratched. Regardless of whether Mariota plays or not, the Titans presumably plan to lean heavily on their ground game, led by the surging Derrick Henry.
