Five months removed from fractured fibula, Marcus Mariota returns to practice

December 24, 2016 is a day that will live in Tennessee Titans infamy. Okay, that might be a bit of an overreaction, but Week 16 of last year was easily one of the worst days to be a Titans fan, ever. The Titans lost a must-win game to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars, knocking themselves out of playoff contention and losing their quarterback, Marcus Mariota, for the remainder of the season to a fractured fibula.

It was an eerie feeling. There was a sense of dread throughout the poor performance, but watching Mariota get carted off the field was an absolutely gut-wrenching feeling.
