Will Levis, the Tennessee Titans’ quarterback, will start in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, as confirmed by coach Brian Callahan. Despite injuring his throwing shoulder in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, Levis participated fully in practice this week. Coach Callahan expressed confidence in Levis’ readiness, emphasizing that the injury had not affected his ability to throw or his practice performance.
Levis sustained the shoulder injury while diving for a first down early in the Titans’ Week 4 win against the Dolphins. He was able to rest during the bye week and began light throwing on Monday. Although Levis acknowledged feeling sore, he remained determined to play in Sunday’s game, stating that he was pushing hard to be on the field and contribute to the team.
Coach Callahan reiterated that if Levis was healthy, he would be the starter, despite backup quarterback Mason Rudolph leading the Titans to their first 30-point game in over two years. The decision to stick with Levis highlights the team’s commitment to their young quarterback and their belief in his potential to lead the offense.
At 25 years old, Levis is eager to build on the team’s recent success after securing their first win of the season. He expressed mixed emotions about the win, feeling both excitement and a sense of responsibility for not being on the field to help his teammates more directly. Nonetheless, he is focused on his recovery and preparing for the upcoming game against the Colts.
Levis’ return comes at a crucial time for the Titans as they look to maintain momentum and improve their standing. His determination to play through the injury and his competitive spirit will be important as he leads the offense against a divisional rival. With the team’s confidence in him and his own drive to succeed, Levis aims to guide the Titans to another victory.
