Mariota suffered the quad injury on a long run in the Monday night win over the Ravens. He was initially expected to miss multiple weeks.
“Marcus Mariota is expected to be out multiple weeks after aggravating a quad injury during a 31-yard run on Monday night, source said. A few weeks is the best case scenario. This robs Las Vegas of a weapon, as they planned to sprinkle Mariota in on offense,” Rapoport reported following the initial injury.
