Is the Will Levis era already over in Tennessee?
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Titans will start veteran Mason Rudolph at quarterback on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills as Levis continues to deal with a shoulder injury. Levis was ruled out for Sunday’s game, and the Titans signed quarterback Trevor Siemian from the practice squad to back up Rudolph.
Head coach Brian Callahan said before that if Levis were healthy, he’d be the starter. So, unless Rudolph lights it up in Buffalo, Levis will likely be back in the lineup once his shoulder is 100% healthy.
Tennessee signed Siemian to its practice squad on Oct. 9. The 10-year NFL veteran has played in 40 career games, with 33 starts, including three last season with the New York Jets.

Will Levis continues to deal with a shoulder injury and isn’t healthy enough to go. He’ll be inactive.

Rudolph’s first appearance this season came in Tennessee’s only win, a Week 4 victory over Miami. Rudolph relieved Levis, which is where he suffered the initial shoulder injury. Rudolph completed nine of 17 pass attempts for 85. He didn’t need to do much as the Titans leaned on Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears and the defense.
