Marcus Mariota Injury: Tennessee Titans QB Looks Good to Play in NFL Week 7 vs. Falcons

Following last week's Marcus Mariota injury, the Tennessee Titans have to be happy that it was nothing serious. At this point in time, it even appears that he looks good play NFL Week 7 action vs. the Atlanta Falcons.

Mariota suffered a knee injury and it appeared that it could be serious when it originally happened. That obviously hasn't ended up being the case for the Titans.

According to a report from Jim Wyatt on Twitter, Mariota looks good to play this coming week.

Throughout his rookie season this year so far, Mariota has shown why the Titans thought he could be the franchise quarterback that they have been waiting on for a long time. He has completed 64.0 percent of his passes so far this season and has thrown for 1,239 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions so far on the season.

Obviously those numbers have to excite the Titans and their fan base about their 21-year-old quarterback. It was a race between Jameis Winston and Mariota for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft this year, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided to go with Winston. That may end up being a massive mistake if the way these two have started their respective careers keeps up.

Mariota has shown off an impressive arm, but his coaching staff could push him to use his athletic ability and make more plays with his legs moving forward as well.

It will be interesting to see what ends up happening with the Titans this week. Mariota looks good at this point in time, but there is still a chance that he won't end up being able to play. If that does end up happening, Zach Mettenberger would be the next guy up for Tennessee.

All of that being said, Mariota looks good to play and should be on the field to lead his team in Week 7. That news has to help Titans' fans breathe a sigh of relief and excite them for their big game against Atlanta.
