What It Means:

Coach Mike Mularkey said that Mariota "did more today" and called his participation "positive", but he isn't ruling Mariota in or out for Week 6 quite yet. The fact that Tennessee doesn't play until Monday night makes it more likely that Mariota does suit up, but it sounds like it's 50-50 and could come down to a game-time decision on Monday. Matt Cassel is ready to fill in if the Titans opt to hold their star passer out for the second straight week.

If Mariota plays, he's in as good of a spot as any quarterback this week. The Colts rank dead last against the pass and have given up 22.0 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks through 5 weeks of action.
