Great additional color, Bri -- thanks. To be fair, all I said was that he came out of the game, so not trying to misrepresent anything.You misrepresented the injury timing. He played after the injury. He wanted to go in after halftime. Texans had a long 8 minute back breaking drive to take away hope and then Mularkey decided to be smart and sit him.
The Titans and many teams are off Tuesday. Monday is film day, meeting day, time with the trainer, and essentially a non-workout day.
Mariota runs faster than many RBs and WRs
There will not be an update Wednesday. Mularkey has already stated that Mariota will get Wednesday off
Not sure how Mariota's 4.48 40 time is comparative to WRs and RBs -- that's not the focus of my point, but rather that even while Mariota is a good running QB, I figure a guy whose job it is to run (RBs, WRs) need their legs more are much more likely to re-injure than a QB, where game management can help limit his running.
Mariota is a self-proclaimed fast healer, too, so not sure how that affects his ability to deal with this.
More or less just trying to get a bead on what owners are planning on doing approaching waiver period knowing that we won't know anything until Wednesday (when Mularkey has said he will provide more updates about his status -- I assume that's regardless if he practices or not).
