Share

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has left Sunday's game against the New England Patriots with an apparent injury to his right knee.

Mariota was sacked by Jamie Collins with about 10 minutes left in the second quarter. When the field goal unit came on, Titans training staff was looking at Mariota's right knee.

Zach Mettenberger came on to replace him.

Mariota missed two games earlier this season with a left knee injury.

The rookie was the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft this spring.

Ravens: Jimmy Smith out with thigh injury
BALTIMORE -- Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith left Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a thigh injury and will not return.

The injury occurred during the Chiefs' opening series.

Smith has accounted for two of Baltimore's four interceptions this season. He was replaced by Jumal Rolle.

Texans: Backup QB T.J. Yates hurt late in 1st half
INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston quarterback T.J. Yates left the field and walked straight to the locker room late in the first half Sunday after apparently injuring his left knee at Indianapolis.

Brandon Weeden took over and finished the possession by leading the Texans to a field goal to cut Indy's lead to 10-7.

The injury occurred with 1:14 left in the second quarter after Yates scrambled for a first down. But the play was wiped out by an offensive holding penalty and cost Houston its final timeout of the half.

The Texans were already without starting quarterback Brian Hoyer, who is out because of a concussion.

Yates was 6 of 10 for 68 yards with one interception. Houston's emergency quarterback would be punter Shane Lechler.
