Mariota will start Friday against the Colts, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Mariota is only expected to play one series before giving way to Tanner McKee, and eventually Ian Book. The Oregon product has struggled at times learning his new team's offense during training camp, but he's fully expected to remain the team's No. 2 option behind Jalen Hurts this season.
