NASHVILLE
White Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota fully participated in Friday’s practice and is expected to start Monday
night’s road game against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans.Mariota suffered
a stinger Sunday in a 38-10 loss at Indianapolis and didn’t play in the second
half of that game. He was limited in Wednesday and Thursday’s work but got the
green light from head coach Mike Vrabel on Friday to start, barring an
unforeseen setback.“He felt better,” Vrabel said. “We’ve got to keep working. …
He looked good today, but that’s why you practice. You try to always improve and
get better and fix the things you didn’t have right. He was not limited.”Mariota
missed the first meeting between the Titans and Texans on Sept. 16 in Nashville.
The Titans won that game 20-17 with backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert under
center and with the help of a fake punt touchdown.While Mariota was a full
participant on Friday, defensive coordinator Dean Pees was absent from the
afternoon practice.Pees spent Sunday night in an Indianapolis hospital due to a
medical issue. Pees returned to practice Wednesday and Thursday

go home,” Vrabel said. “I wanted him to get some rest. I’m trying to get Dean to
Monday night, just like I am all the players. The plan was simply,
‘Hey
Xavier Crawford Jersey 2019 , Dean, why do you go get some rest? Why don’t you go get some sleep?’ That’s what I felt like was best to try to get him to
the game.”Also, left tackle Taylor Lewan was out of Friday’s practice due to
illness. Running back David Fluellen remains out with a knee injury. Houston
Texans Inactives:WR Keke Coutee, CB Johnathan Joseph and NT Brandon Dunn were
all listed as questionable going into the weekend, but all three fall on the
wrong side of this week’s game and will sit. RB D’Onta Foreman is a healthy
scratch with Lamar Miller returning
Color Rush Xavier Crawford Jersey , which is not a good sign for the second-year player’s development, but it is a good sign that Miller is healthy
and ready for a big game with the division title on the line.DE Joel Heath and
OT Roderick Johnson continue to remain inactive, with newly re-signed LB Josh
Keyes joining them.Jacksonville Jaguars Inactives:Former Texans CB A.J. Bouye’s
season is over after being listed as out before the weekend arrived. The same
goes for RB Leonard Fournette, who was listed as doubtful. RB Carlos Hyde, who
was listed as questionable
Cheap Xavier Crawford Jersey , is active, and will receive a bulk of the carries with Fournette out. Also, look for impending free agent T.J. Yeldon to factor in
the running game as well.QB Tanner Lee is inactive, and Blake Bortles and Cody
Kessler will once again switch roles on the depth chart. Bortles will start the
final game for the team in an attempt to regain the starting QB job as Kessler
becomes QB2.
