  • Splits reps with Rudolph

    Levis completed nine of 17 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions in Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Texans. He added four rushes for eight yards while losing a fumble.

    Analysis: Levis appeared in a game for the first time since Week 15 and led seven of the team's 10 offensive possessions. His statistical output was relatively strong, though the Texans played without several of their key defensive players, and 144 of his 175 yards came in the fourth quarter with the Titans down multiple scores. Levis had a rocky second season as a pro, totaling 13 touchdowns while turning the ball over 17 times. With Tennessee in line to pick first overall, it would come as a…read more

  • In line to start Sunday

    Head coach Brian Callahan relayed Friday that Levis will start Sunday's season finale against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Wyatt, Callahan said that fellow QB Mason Rudolph also will play in Sunday's contest. Of the two, however, Levis profiles as the higher-percentage Week 18 fantasy dart, with Turron Davenport of ESPN.com and John Glennon of NashvillePost.com suggesting that if Levis plays well Sunday, the snap share could tilt in his favor.

  • Set to split reps at QB in Week 18

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Levis and Mason Rudolph will both play Sunday against Houston, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: Levis was moved to a backup role in favor of Rudolph over the Titans' past two games, but the team has gone 0-2 since the change. Rudolph has somewhat struggled with a 3:4 TD:INT in the pair of contests, so he hasn't done enough to establish a stranglehold on the starting QB role. With both Levis and Rudolph likely to get snaps Week 18, neither profiles as an appealing fantasy play.

  • Expected to be active as backup

    Levis (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is expected to be active and serve as the backup to starter Mason Rudolph, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Brian Callahan had already announced Wednesday that Levis would be removed from the starting role in favor of Rudolph, who has taken all the first-team reps in practice this week. Levis was a full participant Wednesday and Thursday before downgrading to limited activity Friday, but the fact that the Titans didn't elevate Trevor Siemian from the practice squad prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 16 roster moves suggests that Levis' shoulder injury isn't a major concern.

    Analysis: Levis was added to the injury report Friday, getting in a limited session.

    Head coach Brian Callahan announced Wednesday that Levis will move to the bench for Sunday's game against the Colts, with Mason Rudolph replacing him as the Titans' starting quarterback, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Rudolph is expected to direct the offense for the final three games of the season, though Callahan is reserving the right to change his mind on a week-to-week basis. Callahan also suggested that he still believes in Levis long term and doesn't think he's done as an NFL starting quarterback, according to Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com. In any case, Levis will be the team's backup quarterback this Sunday in Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Unless the team elects to award the start to practice-squad member Trevor Siemian, Rudolph represents the logical candidate to replace Levis. The second-year signal-caller will head to the bench after he endured another tough outing in this past Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals, when he completed eight of 12 pass attempts for 89 yards and three interceptions while also losing a fumble before being pulled midway through the third quarter.

  • Quarterback position under review

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said the team will spend the next two days evaluating whether Levis, who was benched in Week 15, or Mason Rudolph will start Sunday's road matchup against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Levis was benched during Tennessee's 37-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 15 after accounting for four turnovers (three interceptions and one lost fumble). He otherwise completed eight of 12 passes for 89 yards and zero touchdowns. Rudolph looked more competent, if unremarkable, in relief of Levis, completing 21 of 26 passes for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, while also rushing twice for 14 yards.

  • Benched after four turnovers

    Levis completed eight of 12 passes for 89 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Levis had shown an improved ability to take care of the ball since returning from a shoulder injury in Week 10, having thrown only two picks and losing one fumble in five games. Things unraveled for him quickly in Sunday's loss, however, as he lost a fumble to begin the second quarter and then threw an interception on back-to-back possessions. After throwing a pick-six on Tennessee's second drive of the second half, he was ultimately benched in favor of Mason Rudolph. Levis' status is uncertain…read more

    Levis completed 19 of 32 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for three yards.

    Analysis: Levis drew one of the best matchups in the league against a struggling Jaguars defense, but he managed to do little with the opportunity. Tennessee didn't find the end zone on the day, while Levis averaged only 5.3 yards per attempt. Most concerning was that he aggravated the AC joint sprain that cost him three games earlier in the season on a hard hit on the final play of the first half, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

    Levis completed 18 of 37 passes for 212 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Levis' final line looks mediocre, though he failed to get the Tennessee offense moving until the Commanders held a 28-0 lead. Nevertheless, he did throw for multiple touchdowns -- both of which went to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (24 and 17 yards) -- for the third time in the last four games. Most importantly for Levis, he once again limited mistakes by not turning the ball over and taking only two sacks. Though there are still inconsistencies, he's shown a decent amount of improvement from the start…read more

  • Gets deep ball going

    Levis completed 18 of 24 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans. He added eight rushes for 10 yards and also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: As usual, Levis had plenty of both positives and negatives during the Titans' upset win. He led the team to points on each of the first three drives, highlighted by a 38-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and a 63-yard connection with Calvin Ridley to set up a Tony Pollard score. Levis later chipped in his second touchdown with a 70-yard toss to Chigoziem Okonkwo, though the majority of that gain came after the catch. While those were all significant bright spots, Levis also turned…read more

  • Mixed results Sunday

    Levis completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-13 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Levis didn't have his best game in terms of completion rate (55 percent), setting a new low for the 2024 season against Minnesota. However, the Kentucky product did manage to bolster fantasy managers' scores with a 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on third down in the second half. Levis' inconsistent play limits his value to deeper leagues heading into next week's road tilt against the Texans.

  • Two touchdowns in return

    Levis completed 18 of 23 passes for 175 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chargers. He added five rushes for 41 yards.

    Analysis: Levis returned from a three-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and turned in his first appearance of the campaign without a turnover. He padded his stats with a touchdown drive in garbage time that concluded with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley, though he also found Ridley for a 41-yard score on the Titans' first offensive possession. Levis isn't likely to become useful in most fantasy formats, but he did show a level of competence that was missing earlier in the campaign.

    Analysis: Levis, who has missed three straight contests, returned to a full practice Thursday, paving the way for him to see his first game action since Week 6. As a result, Mason Rudolph -- who had started in place of Levis -- will move back to backup duties Sunday. In his return to the Titans' lineup, Levis offers a Week 10 option for those in deeper fantasy leagues or who are otherwise seeking help this weekend due to injury or bye week issues.

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Levis (shoulder) will increase his workload in practice this week with the hope that he's ready to play Sunday against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Levis has missed the Titans' last three games while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, an injury he first sustained Week 4 and then played through during a Week 6 loss to the Colts. The second-year quarterback had been a limited participant in practice throughout last week, so he'll presumably need to upgrade to full participation at least once during Week 10 prep before getting the green light to return to action.

    Analysis: Levis will be inactive for the third straight game while recovering from an AC joint sprain. Positively, he was able to practice in limited fashion all week and was spotted warming up prior to Sunday's game against New England.

Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz confirmed earlier this week that Levis will be the team's starter once he's ready to take the field again, and that could happen as soon as next Sunday versus the Chargers.

He injured his shoulder in Tennessee's Week 4 win over the Dolphins prior to a Week 5 bye, then played the entire Week 6 loss to the Colts but threw for only 95 yards.

    Analysis: Levis exited the Week 4 win over Miami after injuring his shoulder in the first quarter, but a Week 5 bye gave him ample time to heal, and he practiced without limitations leading up to Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: A Week 5 bye apparently gave Levis plenty of time to recover from the right shoulder injury he suffered in a Week 4 win at Miami. He should be back under center this Sunday against the Colts, facing a defense that's been arguably the worst in the NFL through the first month-plus of the season. Levis, of course, has been one of the worst starting quarterbacks, and he may even be a few bad outings away from getting replaced by Mason Rudolph.

    Analysis: Levis exited in the first quarter of Monday's win with the injury and likely wouldn't have been available to play this weekend if the Titans had a game, so the team's bye comes at a convenient time.

  • Still entrenched as starter

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Levis (shoulder) will remain Tennessee's starting quarterback after the team's Week 5 bye, as long as he's healthy, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Callahan said "there's no controversy, no second guessing" regarding Levis' standing as QB1, despite the fact that Mason Rudolph competently piloted the Titans to a 31-12 win over the Dolphins on Monday as his replacement. Levis departed early due to a shoulder injury sustained as he dove for a first down. While he's still slated for an MRI, Callahan said the quarterback is currently only sore, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, and that his difficulty throwing on the sideline Monday…read more

  • Slated for MRI

    Levis (shoulder) is expected to undergo an MRI after being unable to return to Monday's game against the Dolphins, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: When he's healthy, Levis is expected to remain Tennessee's starter under center, according to head coach Brian Callahan. Levis went down early in Monday's contest due to a right shoulder injury and subsequently was replaced by Mason Rudolph, who led the team to a 31-12 victory. More clarity on Levis' status may come following the results of his MRI.

  • Departs with shoulder injury

    Levis exited Monday's game at Miami due to a right shoulder injury and is questionable to return, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

    Analysis: On the Titans' second possession of Week 4, Levis scrambled for three yards and then was seen having his right shoulder looked at on the sideline. He made some throws before backup Mason Rudolph took over for Levis on the team's next drive, and Levis visited the medical tent before he was seen on the bench with a team trainer.

  • More mistakes in loss

    Levis completed 26 of 34 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Levis put together by far his most competent performance of the season from an efficiency perspective by averaging 7.4 yards per attempt. He completed four passes of at least 20 yards -- all to different receivers -- half of which came before the game was decided, and he also recorded multiple touchdowns for the first time in the campaign. On the other hand, mistakes continue to plague him, as he turned the ball over three total times, highlighted by a pick-six. Despite now having eight…read more

  • Pedestrian passing in loss

    Levis completed 19 of 28 passes for 192 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding four carries for 38 yards in the Titans' 24-17 loss to the Jets on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Levis was frequently under pressure while taking four sacks and and additional pair of official QB hits, and he had trouble consistently connecting with any receiver not named Calvin Ridley. Levis hit Ridley for a game-long 40-yard pass that also served as his only touchdown toss of the afternoon, but other than that game-tying play, the second-year signal-caller struggled with getting the ball downfield. Levis' contributions as a rusher were a welcome complement to his fantasy production, yet…read more

  • Throws backbreaking pick

    Levis completed 19 of 32 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 36 yards.

    Analysis: The Titans started quickly, limiting what Levis was asked to do in the first half as he attempted only 15 passes. He did manage his lone touchdown of the day late in the second quarter, a 17-yard connection with Chigoziem Okonkwo. The Bears made a run in the second half, which in turn forced Levis to the air more often and led to mistakes. The worst came midway through the fourth quarter when Levis attempted to escape pressure and desperately flung the ball toward the sidelines and into the…read more

  • Sharp in two-drive tune-up

    Levis completed seven of eight passes for 118 yards in Sunday's 30-27 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Levis hit on his first seven passes before overthrowing Calvin Ridley in the end zone on the second drive, leading to a field goal after Tony Pollard capped the first possession with a one-yard rushing touchdown. The pair of successful possessions came against the Saints' defensive backups, but it was still an encouraging dress rehearsal for Levis and the first-team offense heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Bears.

    Analysis: Callahan added that he'd "like to see our starting offense play somewhere in the 3-ish series" against the Saints, per Wyatt. Levis played the first two drives of Tennessee's preseason opener and then was held out along with a group of the team's key starters in Saturday's exhibition against Seattle.

    Levis completed four of five pass attempts for 35 yards while making two rushing attempts for three yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over San Francisco.

    Analysis: Levis started the game's first two drives along with the rest of Tennessee's first unit as the offense looks to build a new identity under head coach Brian Callahan. The big-framed quarterback scored a rushing touchdown from in close, something we may see more often now that power back Derrick Henry is in Baltimore.

    Analysis: Levis was slowed by a foot injury late last season, but he relayed in February that he was close to 100 percent healthy. The second-year QB appears to have put the issue behind him, and Levis got in some work with the Titans' top wideouts Tuesday, a group that includes free-agent additions Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd along with returnees DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks.

  • Gets new No. 1 WR as Henry departs

    Levis (foot) will enter the 2024 NFL season with new skill-position talent, headlined by Calvin Ridley being slated to join the Titans on a four-year, $92 million contract, and by Derrick Henry set to be replaced by Tony Pollard in the backfield, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Tennessee adding a hopeful true No. 1 wideout in Ridley is arguably just as impactful as Henry's tenure as the franchise face finally coming to an end. Ridley joins veteran DeAndre Hopkins, giving Levis two proven pass-catchers who both surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in 2023, allowing Treylon Burks to slide down to the No. 3 role and benefit from lesser defensive coverage. On paper, Levis now looks set to benefit from one of the best three-receiver groups in the league, while the recently…read more

    Levis (foot) will work with new Titans head coach Brian Callahan in 2024, ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Levis seemingly did enough as a rookie to enter Year 2 as a starter, though it's still up in the air if he's a franchise QB or more of a low-end starter/high-end backup. The Titans likely want to build their offense around the 2023 second-round pick, following a half-decade of run-first attacks centered on impending free agent Derrick Henry. That's not to say Henry is automatically done in Tennessee, though the fit would be questionable under a coach whose five seasons as offensive coordinator…read more

    Analysis: It was announced earlier in the week that Levis would not be available to start, with veteran Ryan Tannehill instead getting the nod. Malik Willis will serve as the backup, meaning barring injuries to both quarterbacks, Levis will end his rookie season with and 8:4 TD:INT while averaging 7.1 yards per attempt across nine contests.

With that in mind, Malik Willis is slated to be Tannehill's top backup Sunday.

However, given the team's intention to list Levis as questionable for the Week 16 contest, he'll have a chance at being cleared to play through his right high-ankle sprain Sunday.

Tannehill missed two games after spraining his ankle Week 7 of the 2022 season and sat out the remainder of that campaign due to his Week 15 injury.

    Analysis: Levis will receive an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity of his injury, but he said after Sunday's divisional loss: "I'm all right. It could have been a lot worse." He was able to leave the field under his own power Sunday, but Levis' chances of suiting up Week 16 versus the Seahawks likely won't become clear until the results of his MRI are revealed.

    Analysis: The ankle injury resulted in Levis' practice reps being capped Wednesday, but his return to full practice participation clears the way for him to make his sixth start of the season Sunday versus the Colts. Through his first five NFL appearances, Levis has completed 91 of 152 pass attempts (59.9 percent) for 1,042 yards (6.9 YPA) and a 6:2 TD:INT.

  • Limited by ankle issue

    Levis was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per John Glennon of NashvillePost.com, Levis appeared to be hampered to some degree by his ankle during Wednesday's session, but given that the quarterback was able to work through the issue -- albeit in a limited fashion -- he'll most likely be available Sunday against the Colts. That said, Levis will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Not asked to do much in victory

    Levis completed 18 of 28 passes for 185 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Levis did the majority of his work in the first half, as he attempted only 10 passes across the final two quarters while the Titans attempted to preserve a victory. As a result, he was held under 200 passing yards for the third consecutive game, and he's now failed to throw for a touchdown in three of his starts. Positively, Levis was willing to push the ball down the field, with one-third of his completions going for more than 15 yards. Tennessee has been willing to rely on its defense and…read more

  • Two touchdowns in blowout loss

    Levis completed 13 of 17 passes for 158 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Levis' line suggests he had a relatively productive day, though he struggled to get the Tennessee offense moving for the majority of the contest. The Titans ran only 38 offensive plays and possessed the ball for just under 24 minutes while at one point going down 27-0 to the Jaguars. Levis did manage two garbage-time scores, the highlight of which was a 43-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins on a trick play. Since an excellent debut against Atlanta in Week 8, Levis has only two touchdowns across three…read more

  • Struggles with efficiency in loss

    Levis completed 19 of 39 passes for 199 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Titans' 20-6 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Levis struggled with his accuracy and averaged a modest 5.1 yards per attempt while also taking four sacks. The rookie did impressively connect with eight different targets, but after a four-touchdown breakout against the Falcons in Week 8, Levis has now gone without a scoring toss in back-to-back weeks. He's also completed only 52.6 percent of his passes in that span heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Jaguars that could yield more success given Jacksonville's ongoing struggles…read more

  • Will start moving forward

    Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that Levis will remain the Titans' starting quarterback moving forward, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will serve as Levis' backup as soon as he's healthy enough to play, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Levis has put together two straight productive performances in which he completed 41 of 68 passes (60.3 percent) for 500 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while also running eight times for 13 yards. He'll look to keep up the pace Sunday on the road against the Buccaneers' 31st-ranked pass defense (279.4 yards per game).

  • Not yet named starter

    Coach Mike Vrabel wouldn't commit to Levis being the starter moving forward but said Friday that the team would evaluate the depth chart and name a starting quarterback Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Levis has started the last two games in place of Ryan Tannehill (ankle), posting a 1-1 record. After throwing four touchdowns in the Week 8 win over Atlanta, Levis failed to throw a touchdown in Thursday's loss to Pittsburgh. Tannehill's health, the short-term playoff chances of the 3-5 Titans, and the long-term implications of Levis' development are all factors that will go into the equation of naming the team's starter for Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

  • Solid numbers in Week 9 loss

    Levis completed 22 of 39 passes for 262 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for two yards in the Titans' 20-16 loss to the Steelers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Levis went a long way toward proving his Week 8, four-touchdown pro debut against the Falcons wasn't a fluke with Thursday's productive performance on a short week against an aggressive Steelers defense. The rookie showed plenty of grit while taking four sacks and withstanding significant pressure throughout the night, connecting with eight different targets in the process. Levis nearly drove the Titans to a game-winning touchdown late as well before throwing an interception in the end zone…read more

    Levis will start Thursday's game against the Steelers with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) having been officially ruled out for the Week 9 contest.

    Analysis: Titans head coach Mike Vrabel had already said Tuesday that Levis was trending toward a second straight start, and with Tannehill having remained a spectator for Wednesday's practice while tending to a right high-ankle sprain, the rookie second-round pick will remain atop the depth chart for at least one more week. In his NFL debut this past Sunday against the Falcons, Levis looked more seasoned than anticipated. In addition to playing turnover-free football and taking just two sacks, Levis…read more

  • Headed for second straight start

    Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Levis is likely to remain the Titans' starting quarterback Thursday at Pittsburgh, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ryan Tannehill hasn't been cleared to resume practicing since suffering a right high-ankle sprain in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Ravens on Oct. 15, so unless his condition takes a dramatic turn for the better in the next two days, he'll miss a second straight game coming out of Tennessee's Week 7 bye. The Titans aren't incentivized to rush Tannehill back after Levis turned in arguably the best performance of the season by any Tennessee quarterback in this past Sunday's win over the Falcons.…read more

    Levis is expected to start Thursday's game against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Levis is coming off a four-touchdown NFL debut in which he led the Titans to a 28-23 win over the Falcons, so he's certainly made a case to keep the No. 1 QB gig. It's also possible that Ryan Tannehill (ankle) simply isn't trending in the right direction to be ready for Thursday night's contest, but if Levis can log another impressive performance in prime time, it could be hard for Tennessee's coaching staff to justify going back to the struggling veteran.

  • Makes case to keep starting job

    Levis completed 19 of 29 passes for 238 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Despite rumors of a split at quarterback in the absence of Ryan Tannehill (ankle), Levis was the only Titan to attempt a pass. He looked plenty comfortable in his NFL debut, connecting with DeAndre Hopkins for long scores of 47, 16 and 61 yards while capping his day with a 33-yard touchdown toss to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Tennessee understandably ran a conservative gameplan -- the team called 36 rushes as opposed to 31 pass plays -- but Levis ran a more explosive offense than that overseen by…read more

  • Expected to be Week 8 starter

    Levis is expected to be the Titans' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Falcons and take most of the snaps behind center, despite head coach Mike Vrabel having not named a Week 8 starter while noting that both Levis and Malik Willis will play in the absence of Ryan Tannehill (ankle), Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: After suffering a right high-ankle sprain in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, Tannehill didn't practice in any fashion coming out of the team's Week 7 bye and could be in danger of missing two straight games, given that the Titans are set to travel to Pittsburgh for a Thursday night game Week 9. Rapoport initially reported Wednesday that the Titans had been preparing for Levis to start Week 8 in anticipation of Tannehill not being available, and it appears little has changed on that front…read more

    Analysis: Per Wyatt, Vrabel suggested that if Tannehill doesn't play this weekend, the Titans may opt to alternate series between Levis and Willis. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Tennessee was prepping Levis to be the team's Week 8 starter, but for now the situation still looks to be fluid. Tannehill isn't set to practice Wednesday and appears to be trending toward missing at least one game.

    The Titans are expected to start Levis over Malik Willis during Sunday's game against the Falcons with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) not expected to be available, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that both Levis and Willis would be expected to see the field if Tannehill's high-ankle sprain keeps him sidelined Week 8. Though he's been the Titans' No. 3 quarterback all season, Levis looks primed to draw the start and see the bulk of the playing time behind center over Willis, who has appeared in relief of Tannehill in Weeks 3 and 6.

  • NFL debut could come Week 8

    Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday he would expect both Levis and Malik Willis to see the field Sunday versus Atlanta if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) isn't able to play, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Levis has been a healthy scratch all season, serving as the Titans' third quarterback with Malik Willis having been the No. 2 option. If Tannehill's right high-ankle sprain requires another week of recovery, however, it sounds like Tennessee will take advantage of the opportunity to take a look at Levis under center. The rookie second-round pick missed two of Tennessee's three preseason games due to a thigh injury, so the team hasn't had many chances to evaluate him in game action yet.

However, the 2023 second-round selection appears to be healthy once again. which is good news for the Kentucky product, although it's still unclear whether he or Malik Willis has earned the No. 2 quarterback role behind incumbent starter Ryan Tannehill.

    Levis completed nine of 14 pass attempts for 85 yards and one interception in Tennessee's preseason game against Chicago on Saturday.

    Analysis: Levis played off the bench while Malik Willis started, but the two went on to rotate between several series at a time. Preseason rarely offers conclusive insights and this game is no exception, so it's probably best not to read into the results too much. With that said, it seems Levis fared a little more poorly than Willis, who completed 16 of 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and one interception while adding 22 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Willis, a 2022 third-round pick, is expected to draw the start versus Chicago, but he'll likely rotate series with Levis, a rookie second-round pick.

However, the 33rd overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft has been closing ground and could potentially leapfrog Willis with a strong performance in the preseason, starting with Saturday's game against the Bears.

Derrick Henry was quick to congratulate him on the play, which Wyatt used as an example of the rookie winning over some of the veterans on the team.
