Will Levis has averaged the 3rd-quickest time to throw when under pressure among qualified quarterbacks this season (2.98 seconds) and has generated the fewest EPA per drop back (-0.75) on such attempts.
Updated Tue, Nov 19 at 9:44am -
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.

Set to start Sunday
Coach Brian Callahan announced Friday that Levis (right shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Turns in full practice
Levis (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis had previously been listed as a non-participant or limited participant in each of the Titans' last eight practices, but his ability to log full reps Thursday likely signals that the young quarterback has moved past the sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder that has been plaguing him since Week 4. Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz seemed to confirm as much before Thursday's session got underway, telling Turron Davenport of ESPN.com that Levis had looked good throwing the football…read more

Limited to start week
Levis (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis was a limited participant throughout last week and missed a third straight game during the Titans' overtime win over the Patriots. According to Wyatt, head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the plan was for Levis to get more reps this week and possibly return for Sunday's game against the Chargers, although Mason Rudolph will continue to get at least a portion of the first-team work in practice.

Could return for Week 10
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. Callahan has previously said that Levis, once he's…read more

Sitting for third straight
Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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. That suggests Levis may be in line for a Week 10 return against the Chargers. As for Week 9, Mason Rudolph will draw his third consecutive start.

Expected to miss another game
Levis (shoulder), who is officially questionable, is likely to sit out Sunday's Week 9 battle against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though Levis managed to log a trio of limited practices this week, it appears he'll sit out a third straight game while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. 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. With Levis expected to miss Week 9, Mason Rudolph is in line to make another start, while Trevor Siemian was…read more

Questionable for Week 9
Coach Brian Callahan said Friday that Levis (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Titans insider Paul Kuharsky reports.
Analysis: Callahan added that while the decision is ultimately in his hands, he will rely on Levis' input regarding the health of the second-year quarterback's shoulder before deciding on a starter for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Levis misses a third consecutive game, Mason Rudolph would continue to start for Tennessee.

Throws for second straight day
Levis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Though Levis didn't take a step forward in terms of his listed practice activity after he was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, he threw passes for the second day in a row and seems to be making good progress in his recovery from an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. He originally sustained the injury in a Week 4 win over the Dolphins and was cleared to start in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts coming out of a bye week, but since the shoulder issue was still affecting his…read more

Limited in practice again
Levis (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Levis was limited in practice all last week before being listed as questionable and then declared inactive for an eventual 52-14 loss to the Lions. According to Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that he wants to see how Levis' right shoulder feels after throwing on consecutive days, which makes it sound like the Titans won't have a good idea about the quarterback's availability for this Sunday's game against the Patriots until later in the week.

Second straight absence
Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Levis logged limited practice sessions all week and was officially listed as questionable entering Sunday's game. However, the Titans tipped their hand when they elevated Trevor Siemian to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday, and Levis is now set to miss his second straight game. Mason Rudolph will draw another start for the Titans and will face a Lions secondary that has been vulnerable at times this season.

Listed as questionable for Week 8
Levis (right shoulder), who was limited at practice this week, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Levis hasn't been ruled out for the contest as he recovers from his right shoulder injury, coach Brian Callahan indicated earlier in the week that the Titans anticipated Mason Rudolph being the team's starter Sunday. Look for added context regarding Tennessee's QB situation to arrive ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but at this stage Levis isn't a high-percentage Week 8 fantasy lineup option.

Still limited, but improving
Levis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: According to Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, Levis said after Thursday's session that the pain and range of motion in his shoulder have improved since he suffered an AC joint sprain back in Week 4. After a timely Week 5 bye, Levis started the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts, but with the shoulder issue hampering his mechanics and arm strength in that game, head coach Brian Callahan elected to hold the second-year signal-caller out of the team's Week 7 loss to the Bills.

Limited, trending toward not starting
Levis (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis was inactive for this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills, and at this stage the quarterback is trending toward giving way to Mason Rudolph once again this weekend on the road versus the Lions. With that in mind, head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the Titans will "probably give (Levis) one more week," though Levis hasn't officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Detroit.

Viewed as 'longshot' to play Week 8
Levis (shoulder) is considered a "longshot" to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Following Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills, Titans head coach Brian Callahan had labeled Levis as week-to-week, so the second-year quarterback's expected absence for the Week 8 game doesn't come as much of a surprise. After initially suffering an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder during the Titans' Week 4 win over the Dolphins, Levis was cleared to start coming out of a Week 5 bye, but he completed just 16 of 27 pass attempts for 95 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a Week 6…read more

Labeled week-to-week
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said after Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills that Levis (shoulder) is week-to-week, Nick Suss of the Nashville Tennessean reports.
Analysis: Levis had been in the starting conversation for Week 7 until one day prior to Tennessee's matchup against Buffalo, when continued testing of his right AC joint sprain brought back discouraging results. The shoulder injury was initially sustained by Levis in Week 4, and he got a bye week to rest before suiting up in Week 6 versus Indianapolis. Callahan said of Levis' worsening sprain that "he ended up feeling it toward the end of the [Colts] game on a couple of those throws," and that for Week 7…read more

Inactive as expected
Levis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Reports emerged Saturday that Levis was expected to miss the Titans' Week 7 contest due to an AC joint sprain. With his status now official, Mason Rudolph will take over under center for Tennessee. Levis' status will also be worth monitoring beyond Week 7, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that his injury can typically cause an absence of 4-to-5 weeks.

Not slated to start Sunday
Levis (shoulder) is not in line to start Sunday's game against the Bills, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Titans officially list Levis as questionable for the contest, but with Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting that the second-year quarterback is dealing with a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, it's possible that Levis will miss time beyond Sunday. Official confirmation of his Week 7 status may not arrive until the Titans' inactive list is posted ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but in Levis' anticipated absence, Mason Rudolph is on track to make his first start with Tennessee.

Questionable after limited practice
Levis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after being a limited participant in practice Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis sandwiched a full practice Thursday between limited sessions Wednesday and Friday, so he seems more likely than not to suit up. 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. If Levis is declared inactive prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Buffalo, Mason Rudolph would get the nod under center.

Good to go
Levis (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis injured his right shoulder right before a Week 5 bye and was back under center for a 20-17 loss to the Colts last week. He'll start again this Sunday at Buffalo, but it's hard to ignore that Tennessee's only win of the year came Week 4 when Mason Rudolph replaced an injured Levis early in the game. Another bad week or two from Levis could put Rudolph in the starting role.

Another poor showing Sunday
Levis completed 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Levis failed to reach 100 passing yards for the first time in a full game this season, but his tally was his third of under 200 yards overall. The second-year signal-caller alarmingly failed to connect with top wideout Calvin Ridley on any of the eight times he targeted him, and he also extended his dubious season-opening streak of throwing at least one interception to five games. Given Levis' body of work to date and Tennessee's 1-4 record, a switch to veteran backup Mason Rudolph ahead of a…read more

Confirmed Week 6 starter
Coach Brian Callahan confirmed Friday that Levis will start Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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. Indianapolis has struggled defensively, but Levis could be on a short leash after having committed nine turnovers already this season. Mason Rudolph will return to a backup role with Levis healthy.

Logs full practice
Levis (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
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 is tending to a right AC joint sprain sustained during Tennessee's win over the Dolphins in Week 4. He's had the benefit of a bye week to rest up, and Callahan said the starting quarterback is expected to get back on the practice field this week, but Levis' availability for Sunday's upcoming divisional matchup against the Colts remains undetermined at this point.

Tending to AC joint sprain
Levis suffered an AC joint sprain of his right shoulder during Monday's 31-12 win over the Dolphins and is expected to be available following the Titans' Week 5 bye, though he could still be dealing with some pain, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
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. Though Mason Rudolph proved to be a capable game manager as the Titans stuck with a run-heavy game plan for the rest of Monday's win, head coach Brian Callahan has already confirmed that Levis will remain the team's starting quarterback when healthy, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Gets offensive-minded head coach
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

Sidelined by foot injury
Levis (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
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. His future role with the team remains uncertain, though there's a strong chance he'll be in the mix to be Tennessee's starter in 2024.

Listed as questionable, won't start
Levis (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after he was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: Per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, head coach Mike Vrabel announced after Friday's practice that Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in the team's season finale this weekend, while Levis is on track to be Tennessee's No. 3 quarterback. With that in mind, Malik Willis is slated to be Tannehill's top backup Sunday. Unless he's needed in relief, Levis will finish his rookie season with 149 completions on 255 attempts (58.4 percent) for 1,808 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions…read more

Won't start Sunday
Levis (foot) won't start Sunday season finale against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: In his place, Ryan Tannehill will draw the start, while Levis is slated to be the Titans' emergency No. 3 quarterback, according to Wyatt. Levis thus finishes his rookie campaign with 1,808 passing yards to go along with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in nine appearances. The 2023 second-round pick out of Kentucky also added 25 carries for 57 yards and a score.

Limited in return to practice
Levis (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: After missing Tennessee's Week 16 loss to Seattle with a left ankle sprain, Levis returned to the lineup for the Titans' 26-3 loss to the Texans this past Sunday, only to exit early due to a right foot injury. The foot injury seems to be less of a concern than the previous ankle issue, but Levis may still need to show improvement in Friday's practice before the Titans feel confident in having him start Sunday's season finale versus the Jaguars.

Levis (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Wyatt, Levis said Wednesday that while he's dealing with some pain from pushing off his right foot, he hopes to be able to play in Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars. If, however, the rookie signal-caller is unable to progress to the point that the Titans feel comfortable playing him this weekend, Ryan Tannehill would be in store for another turn as Tennessee's starting quarterback.

Unlikely to practice Wednesday
Levis (foot) isn't expected to participate in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis' status for Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars remains cloudy, and with the Titans eliminated from playoff contention, the team is unlikely to push the rookie quarterback to play Week 18 if he's less than 100 percent healthy, If Levis is deemed unavailable this weekend, Ryan Tannehill would likely be in store for another turn as the Titans' starting signal-caller.

Practice status TBD
Coach Mike Vrabel was non-committal about Levis (foot) taking part in Wednesday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: The Titans plan to evaluate Levis this week after he made an early departure from this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, with Vrabel adding that the rookie quarterback has improved since then, per Jim Wyatt of the team's official site. Levis' ability to play Sunday against the Jaguars likely will be contingent on him logging some on-field work before week's end, but if he's unable to suit up, Vrabel plans to roll with Ryan Tannehill under center, according to John Glennon of NashvillePost.com.

Levis (foot) has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. He completed two of six pass attempts for 16 yards and lost a fumble prior to departing the game.
Analysis: Levis made his return to the lineup after missing the Titans' Week 16 loss to the Seahawks with a right ankle sprain, only to get carted to the locker room in the second quarter when the same leg got stepped on. The Titans could provide an updated diagnosis on Levis' foot issue after the game or sometime Monday, but given the recurring nature of the injury along with the fact that Tennessee is eliminated from playoff contention, the rookie quarterback could face an uphill battle to make it back…read more

Slated to resume starting duties
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Levis (ankle) is "in line to start" Sunday at Houston, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Levis was sidelined this past Sunday against the Seahawks due to a sprained right ankle that contained him to one limited session during Week 16 prep. As the Titans reconvened this week, he opened it with a full practice Wednesday and maintained that activity level thereafter, clearing him to resume his standing as Tennessee's starting quarterback.

Analysis: Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site notes that Levis "looked pretty good" while practicing without any limitations, though the rookie acknowledged Wednesday that he's still dealing with some pain, per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com.

Analysis: Vrabel added that Levis is feeling better after sitting out Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks with a right ankle sprain.

Analysis: Levis got back on the practice field Friday for the first time since spraining his ankle in last week's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans. The rookie quarterback is progressing in his recovery, but it remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to play come Sunday.

Head coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Levis (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wyatt previously relayed that Levis was stretching with his teammates prior to Friday's practice, though it isn't immediately clear if he participated in the session in any capacity. 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. If Levis isn't available, Ryan Tannehill would be in line for his first start since Week 6.

The Titans will release their final Week 16 injury report later Friday, when it will be known whether Levis is ruled out in advance of Sunday's game against the Seahawks or carries a designation into the contest.

Coach confirms ankle sprain
Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Levis (ankle) is dealing with a sprained ankle and compared the injury to the pair of ankle sprains Ryan Tannehill suffered last season, John Glennon of the Nashville Post reports.
Analysis: Levis was injured on Tennessee's final offensive snap in Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans. 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. If Levis' ankle sprain is of comparable severity, he'd be unlikely to suit up Week 16 against the Seahawks, ironically opening the door for Tannehill to reclaim the starting quarterback role.

Believed to have sprained ankle
Levis (ankle) is believed to have suffered a right ankle sprain during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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. Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis are the healthy options on the QB depth chart in the event that Levis needs to miss any time.

Levis completed 23 of 38 passes for 327 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday's 28-27 win over Miami. He added four rushes for 15 yards.
Analysis: Levis had an unremarkable first half in which he threw a pick-six while also struggling to consistently place the ball accurately. Things turned around for him in the second half, however, as he connected with several different Tennessee pass catchers for chunk gains.

Analysis: Levis had one of his better performances from a statistical perspective, topping 200 yards for the first time in his last three starts. However, that didn't come without struggles as he completed less than 50 percent of his pass attempts and was also sacked six times, which led to three fumbles. Overall, Levis has now failed to record multiple touchdowns in four of his six starts and has reached 200 yards on only three occasions.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged Wednesday that both Levis and Malik Willis would play Sunday against the Falcons if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is unavailable, but Vrabel noted that Levis hasn't yet been confirmed as the team's starting quarterback in such a scenario, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
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.

Preparing for start vs. Falcons
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. The Titans' Week 7 bye likely gave Levis some more time to prepare for assignment, and with Willis having struggled to…read more

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.

Third quarterback to begin career
Levis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Levis will serve as the Titans' third quarterback, with Malik Willis instead serving as Ryan Tannehill's backup. Levis missed two of the team's three preseason games with a thigh injury, so this decision doesn't come as a significant surprise.

Returns to practice
Levis (thigh) is practicing Thursday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
Analysis: Levis has missed some time due to the injury during training camp, including the team's final preseason contest against the Patriots on Friday. 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.

Expected to practice this week
Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday he expects Levis (thigh) to resume practicing this week, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Vrabel said the rookie second-round pick has done a good job maintaining focus despite sitting out Friday's preseason finale against the Patriots. Levis has spent the summer competing with Malik Willis for the No. 2 quarterback gig behind Ryan Tannehill.

Not expected to play Friday
Levis (thigh) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against New England, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Levis returned to practice Wednesday and told reporters he expected to play Friday, but the Titans apparently will hold him out. Ryan Tannehill likely will start and play a bit before handing things over to Malik Willis for the rest of the night. Willis and Levis have been competing for the No. 2 QB job all summer.

Back at practice Wednesday
Levis (lower body) returned to practice Wednesday and expects to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Levis missed Tennessee's second preseason game, but the rookie second-round pick still has a chance to beat out second-year pro Malik Willis in the battle for the backup job behind starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Willis didn't help his case with Levis out, throwing for just 85 yards while playing the entire game against the Vikings on Aug. 19.

Hopes to play Friday night
Levis (lower body) said his goal is to play in the Titans' preseason finale against the Patriots on Friday night, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike Vrabel also expressed hope and optimism that the rookie could play in the preseason finale after he missed the second exhibition last weekend. Levis did indicate his injury isn't too serious, but this might be his last chance to make a move on Malik Willis for QB2 duties behind Ryan Tannehill. In the preseason opener, Levis completed nine of 14 passes for 85 scoreless yards and one interception.

Not playing Saturday
Levis (lower body) will not play in Saturday's preseason game in Minnesota, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Levis exited Thursday's practice early due to a lower-body injury, and it looks like the Titans will opt to err on the side of caution with their second-round draft selection. As a result, second-year quarterback, Malik Willis is expected to play the full game under center. Levis has primarily worked as Tennessee's third-string quarterback so far during training camp.

Exits Thursday's practice
Levis exited Thursday's practice early, per Nick Suss of the Tennessean, due to what Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com indicated was a lower-body injury.
Analysis: As far as Levis' status for Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, coach Mike Vrabel said that the Titans will have to "see where he's at." If Levis is unavailable for the contest, the team's options would include a full preseason game for Malik Willis versus Minnesota or possibly starter Ryan Tannehill seeing reps as well. Per Suss, Levis has primarily worked as Tennessee's third-string QB during training camp behind Tannehill and Willis.

Struggles in preseason debut
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. Both quarterbacks badly struggled with managing…read more

Expected to split work with Willis
Levis is expected to rotate series with Malik Willis during Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Ryan Tannehill is still viewed as the Titans' starting quarterback and will thus take a seat for the team's first preseason contest. 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. Levis has struggled during training camp and currently finds himself as the No. 3 quarterback on Tennessee's depth chart, but he has a great opportunity to showcase his skills in extended action versus Chicago.

Working with third-string offense
Levis has been running the third-string offense in practice while Malik Willis is working with the second-string offense, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Levis still has an uphill climb to win the backup spot behind Ryan Tannehill. 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. Willis was drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and while he started three games as a rookie, he struggled to a 0:3 TD:INT. Rexrode notes that Levis is far ahead of where Willis was at this point…read more

Winning over teammates
Levis has had an inconsistent rookie training camp but has shown leadership qualities, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Wyatt reported a specific story during two-minute drills Friday, when Levis scrambled up the middle for a nice gain. 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. Levis is in competition with Malik Willis for the backup quarterback job, though that likely won't be settled until at least a couple of preseason games occur.
