The Tennessee Titans named Mason Rudolph their starting quarterback Wednesday for this week’s game in favor of scuffling second-year signal caller Will Levis.
Titans coach Brian Callahan said his decision does not extend beyond this week’s game at Indianapolis.
“We’ll take it week-to-week. I won’t make any proclamations about anything else. But it’ll be Mason for this week for sure,” Callahan told reporters. “I think I should be very clear: This doesn’t mean it’s the end of Will’s ability to be a good quarterback. Where we’re at, I felt like we needed a spark at the quarterback position. Just like any other player, when your play dips the way it did, there’s a chance to let somebody else do it.”
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 a pick returned for a touchdown. He also lost a fumble.
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 five in Pittsburgh. He is 9-6-1 as the starter in his career, including 1-2 in 2024.
