Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel announced Will Levis as the team’s starting quarterback going forward, according to Ben Arthur of Fox Sports.
“We’re gonna go with Will,” Vrabel said. “We think that’s the best opportunity for our football team right now and see where he’s at. I think Ryan (Tannehill) will progress through here this week … to be a backup for us and prepare as a starter.”
Levis has started the last two games for the Titans as Tannehill has been recovering from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 7. The 24-year-old Levis is 1-1 in two starts, throwing for 500 yards with four touchdowns and one interception.
Tennessee’s offense exploded in Levis’ first start. The team racked up 375 yards of total offense against an Atlanta Falcons defense ranked in the top 10 in yards allowed per game. It was the second-highest yardage output from the Titans’ offense this season.
