Marcus Mariota to undergo MRI on hamstring
Marcus Mariota will undergo an MRI on his hamstring after leaving Sunday’s 57-14 loss to Houston due to an injury.
Mariota struggled as a passer going 6 of 10 for 96 yards and two interceptions against the Houston Texans, though he did rush for two scores. He did not return to the game after halftime due to his hamstring and was replaced by Matt Cassel, who was truly awful and threw two interceptions too.
Tennessee will have its franchise QB undergo an MRI.
Marcus Mariota will have an MRI on his hamstring. They were making decision on halftime on if he'd return. Matt Cassel was told he was in.

The third-year QB was expected to take a big step forward this season. His season stats were decent prior to the injury, but his Titans are now 2-2. Given the way Cassel looked in the second half on Sunday, Tennessee would be in major trouble if Mariota were to miss any time.
