Titans' Marcus Mariota on Hand Injury and Nerve Pain: 'I Think It's Close'

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was unable to play in Week 2 due to an elbow injury and it appears his status going forward remains in question.

As he explained Wednesday, the problem is the nerve in his hand preventing him from gripping the ball.

"They way they explained it to me, it's like when you strum a guitar string," Mariota said, per reporter Paul Kuharsky. "When that string settles down, that's kind of similar to how my nerve is. My nerve has kind of been strummed and it's going to take it's time to settle down.
