The Tennessee Titans are not planning to stick with Will Levis as their starter, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The move was expected after head coach Brian Callahan was noncommittal about the pecking order at the position on Monday.
The Titans are likely to name Mason Rudolph the QB1 for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans did not practice or meet with the media on Tuesday, a scheduled day off.
Callahan yanked Levis in the third quarter of Sunday’s 37-27 loss to the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, dropping the Titans to 3-11. Levis threw for just 89 yards and three interceptions, including an interception returned for a touchdown. He also lost a fumble.
“Today wasn’t his day,” Callahan said of Levis. “He had a couple of bad picks, put us in some tough spots. So, I made the decision to sit him down and try to give us a little bit of a spark.”
Rudolph came on to complete 21 of 26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns — one on the final play of the game — and an interception.
Levis has thrown for 1,916 yards with 12 TDs and 12 INTs this season. He is 5-15 as a starter in his first two seasons in the NFL.
Rudolph is in his first season in Tennessee after spending his first four in Pittsburgh. He is 9-6-1 as the starter in his career, including 1-2 in 2024.
