Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill faced a setback during the team’s 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in London, suffering a significant right ankle injury. Tannehill openly expressed his frustration about the injury and its impact on his game moving forward.
In his post-game comments to Titans.com, Tannehill stated, “That freaking sucks. It’s part of the game where I could get injured, but it’s not an enjoyable process, especially when you know it’s got some significance to it, so we’ll see what it’s gonna look like as we move forward here.
Get a real look at it when we get back with the MRI and everything. Get a plan moving forward. But yeah, you know. It’s frustrating, right? You battle, you put so much into it, and then to have something happen like that, it’s frustrating.”
Tannehill’s injury occurred after completing 8-of-16 passes for 76 yards and an interception against the Ravens. In his absence, Malik Willis stepped in, although there’s uncertainty about his ability to perform consistently.
If Willis struggles, the Titans might turn to rookie quarterback Will Levis, a second-round draft pick this year.
The Titans have a bye week ahead, providing Tannehill with some additional time for recovery before their game against the Atlanta Falcons. The team hopes this extended break might minimize the games missed due to Tannehill’s injury.
The crucial factor in determining the Titans’ quarterback situation will be the results of Tannehill’s MRI, scheduled for this week. The outcome will provide a clearer picture of the team’s options and strategies moving forward.
