The guy practiced on Thursday and Friday. Then all of a sudden he’s one hit away from a career ending injury and can’t go? Odd.No matter how significant this injury is, it's still an outwardly invisible injury so the optics of Mariota sitting out this must-win game and clapping on the sidelines are going to burn a lot of his goodwill imo. I really like the guy but I'm a little shocked at how many fans were still 100% behind him before this game.
Very. It's definitely a strange situation because from what I can tell, most if not all of the Nashville media was saying he was going to play until all of a sudden it threatened his career.The guy practiced on Thursday and Friday.
