Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is good at many things, but predicting the future is not among them.
After saying he thought there was a “pretty good” chance he’d play this week, the Titans quarterback has been ruled out this week, according to Jim Wyatt of the team’s official website.
That means Zach Mettenberger will start Sunday against the Falcons.
Mariota suffered an MCL sprain last week when he took a low hit from Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, and there was some optimism this week he’d be able to play. But he didn’t practice Thursday or Friday, a clear sign that optimism wasn’t founded.
