Rookie Titans QB Will Levis, who missed the Tennessee Titans‘ final two preseason games, has been dealing with a quadriceps injury.

However, the second-round pick is said to be doing well of late and could wind up handling the No. 2 job at the position as early as this week’s game against the host New Orleans Saints over second-year QB Malik Willis.
During his media session on Monday, head coach Mike Vrabel was asked what he wanted to see from the backup quarterbacks before making a decision on who will handle the role behind starter Ryan Tannehill.
“I think a lot of it is based on the game plan, about how we feel like who would step in there and help us,” Vrabel said. “Will has been out a little bit but excited to get him back this week and continue with Malik’s maturity, and we’ll kind of see where it goes at the end of the week.”
Tannehill is in the final year of his four-year, $118 million extension that he signed with the Titans in March of 2020, and Levis is widely looked upon as his potential successor.
