NASHVILLE, Tenn — Titans rookie Will Levis will take over as the full-time starting quarterback for the rest of the season, coach Mike Vrabel announced during a news conference Tuesday. «Going forward Will is going to be our quarterback,» Vrabel said. «We're going to go with Will, we think that's the best opportunity for our football team right now, and see where he's at.» Levis started the past two games for the Titans while Ryan Tannehill recovered from a high ankle sprain he suffered against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6.
The Titans went 1-1 in those games. Tennessee scored 28 points in Levis' debut which were the most points that the Titans had scored since the final game of the 2021 season.
Levis became the third quarterback in NFL history to have four touchdown passes in his first start, joining Fran Tarkenton (1961 vs.
Bears) and Marcus Mariota (2015 vs. Buccaneers). Levis has completed 60.3% of his passes, throwing for 500 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in his two starts.
