Will Levis injury update: Titans QB expected to be fine after hurting shoulder vs. Dolphins, per report

On the second drive of the Tennessee Titans‘ Monday night matchup against the Miami Dolphins, quarterback Will Levis appeared to suffer a right shoulder injury while attempting to dive for a first down. Mason Rudolph replaced him under center, and finished out the eventual 31-12 victory. 

While Levis is still undergoing testing, he is reportedly expected to be fine when the Titans return from their Week 5 bye, per NFL Media. Titans coach Brian Callahan says there’s no quarterback controversy when Levis is healthy, because he is their starter.

In his first action of the year, Rudolph completed 9 of 17 passes for 85 yards. He attempted just three passes in the second half. The Titans relied on their one-two punch of Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears offensively, but Rudolph took care of the football — something Levis has struggled to do.

The second-year signal-caller out of Kentucky has turned the ball over a whopping nine times in 13 quarters, which leads the league. He has completed 68.4% of his passes for 604 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions, but this is his first full season as a starter, and he’s operating in a new system with a new head coach.

The 2024 season for the Titans is about discovering if Levis is their long-term answer. While some fans already feel like that question has been answered, it’s clear coach Callahan does not. 

“I appreciate Mason’s professionalism, and I appreciate how prepared he was, and ready to go into the game,” Callahan said, via the Titans’ official website. “But Will is our starting quarterback. I said it last night, and I’ll reiterate it again: When (Will) is healthy, he is starting. And, hopefully he’s healthy for Indy and we’re ready to roll, and he’s the starting quarterback.”
