Tennessee Titans make quarterback change: Rookie Will Levis takes over starting role

NEW DELHI: The Tennessee Titans announced a shift in their starting quarterback position, with rookie Will Levis taking over from veteran Ryan Tannehill. Levis, who impressed during Tannehill’s absence due to injury, is set to lead the Titans moving forward.

Despite losing his starting role, Tannehill displayed support for Levis, showcasing maturity in handling the situation. However, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons brought attention to Tannehill’s past comments about mentoring rookies, particularly referencing a statement made to Malik Willis last season.

“Lol he told Malik Willis that’s not his job! Mhmm lol just saying,” Parsons remarked.
Last year, after the Titans drafted Willis, Tannehill faced criticism for stating that it wasn’t his responsibility to help the rookie quarterback improve. This time around, with Levis stepping into the starting role, Tannehill exhibited a more supportive stance.

As the Titans navigate this quarterback transition, the team’s playoff contention adds an extra layer of intrigue. If Levis encounters challenges, the Titans, still in the playoff race, will need to carefully manage the quarterback position for continued success.
Furthermore, Ryan Tannehill’s future with the Titans appears uncertain as he is set to become a free agent after this season. Levis’ strong performances in his two-game appearances have sparked speculation about his potential as a franchise quarterback.Tannehill, often underappreciated during his tenure with the Titans, played a crucial role in leading the team to playoff appearances each season before last year. In five seasons, he participated in 63 games, amassing 3,959 passing yards, 91 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions with a passer rating of 98.0, despite being part of a run-dominant offense.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense was bad against the Texans on Sunday in their 39-37 loss. Rookie CJ Stroud put up historic numbers and sealed the win for Houston.

Carlton Davis struggled in that game, he allowed 7 catches for 112 yards and 3 TDs. His status will be in question vs Tennessee as he is dealing with a toe injury and missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday.

On Friday he was dressed for the start of practice and Todd Bowles confirmed that he was on the practice field.

On the offensive side of the ball, left guard Matt Feiler has been injured since the Thursday night game vs Buffalo. In his place, Aaron Stinnie has stepped in and looked really good.

When the media spoke to Offensive Coordinator Dave Canales he seemed comfortable with either player being at that left guard spot.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look to snap a four-game losing streak on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
