Blaine Gabbert Replaced By Marcus Mariota In Week 3 Win
6 years agoTennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert started the Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in place of the injured Marcus Mariota (elbow). However, he was only able to complete one of three passes for eight yards before leaving the game in the concussion protocol. Marcus Mariota was forced into action in the first quarter, but he played rather well despite still suffering from numbness in his throwing hand. Mariota finished 12 of 18 for 100 yards, adding 51 yards on the ground. While he did not attempt any deep passes, this performance was still a good sign for his status going forward. With Gabbert in the concussion protocol, it is very likely Mariota may need to be ready to go again next week when the Titans take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
