Titans plan to start Mariota Week 4 vs. Eagles

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that his plan is to start Marcus Mariota in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mariota is still dealing with an elbow injury, which he played through during a Week 3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Vrabel confirmed that Blaine Gabbert remains in the concussion protocol. The team is preparing Austin Davis to be ready in the event neither Gabbert or Mariota can start. Davis signed with the Titans on Tuesday.

Gabbert started against the Jaguars but left during the first quarter with a concussion and was replaced by Mariota. The fourth-year pro finished the game going 12-of-18 for 100 yards, rushing for 51 yards on seven carries, and Vrabel raved about his performance afterwards.
