NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota practiced fully Wednesday after being knocked out of Tennessee’s season opener when he hurt the elbow on his right, throwing arm.

Barring any setbacks, Titans coach Mike Vrabel expects his quarterback to play Sunday.

“He’s feeling good,” Vrabel said. “He was able to practice. He had some rest there Monday and Tuesday, and so he was able to get through and do everything and really looked OK.”

That’s when the Titans (0- 1) host rival Houston (0-1) in an early AFC South showdown.

Notes: Vrabel said he did hear from the NFL that the hit on Mariota should’ve been flagged for a late hit on the quarterback. … Rookie LB Rashaan Evans (hamstring) practiced fully. The 22nd pick overall out of Alabama missed each preseason game and the opener. LB Harold Landry (ankle) did not practice along with S Kendrick Lewis (foot).
