NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Marcus Mariota gave the Tennessee Titans a momentary scare last night when he scrambled and ran to the sideline where he collided with a scout. But, Mariota popped right back up and headed to the sideline. The No. 2 draft pick overall out of Oregon finished the practice completing 11 of 15 passes in team and seven-on-seven drills combined.
