2 | (AP) -- Marcus Mariota gave the Tennessee Titans a momentary scare Monday night when he scrambled and ran to the sideline where he crashed into a scout. |
3 | Mariota popped right back up and headed to the sideline after hitting the scout who worked hardest to convince the Titans to draft the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. |
4 | Mariota gave Marv Sunderland a hand to help him back up before running to the huddle. |
5 | Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Sunderland, who scouts the West for the Titans, was Mariota's biggest proponent this offseason. |
6 | ''And then Marv's going to knock him out on the sideline? |
7 | Thanks a lot, Marv,'' Whisenhunt joked. |
8 | The No. |
9 | 2 draft pick overall out of Oregon finished the practice completing 11 of 15 passes in team and seven-on-seven drills combined. |
10 | He is the only one of four Titans quarterbacks who has yet to be intercepted even once through four practices of training camp. |
11 | But seeing Mariota go down worried not only fans but the Titans. |
12 | This franchise started three different quarterbacks last season because of injuries in a 2-14 season. |
13 | ''Marc, I mean he's a tough guy,'' tight end Delanie Walker said. |
14 | ''When I (saw) it, I was shocked at first. |
15 | But again like I said, he's a tough guy. |
16 | I wasn't too worried about it. |
17 | He (jumped) right up and went to the huddle. |
18 | Notes: OT Byron Stingily (illness), S Cody Prewitt (bruised foot) and RB Antonio Andrews (foot) did not practice Monday night. |
19 | With a day off Tuesday, Whisenhunt said he expects all three back Wednesday. |
20 | ... The Titans also had their first scraps of camp with three different fights, and safety Daimion Stafford was involved in two. |
