Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota will play in Sunday's Week 2 game against the Houston Texans, barring a setback with the elbow injury that forced him from the season opener, head coach Mike Vrabel announced Wednesday.

Mariota appeared to suffer the injury after taking a hit from Miami Dolphins defensive lineman William Hayes, and was replaced by Blaine Gabbert for the remainder of the 27-20 loss.

The quarterback struggled before exiting with the injury, tossing two interceptions and just 103 yards on 16 attempts.
