Tennessee Titans to Sub Mason Rudolph for Injured Will Levis Against Buffalo Bills

News Update on Tennessee Titans’ Quarterback Situation

The Tennessee Titans, in their upcoming game against Buffalo Bills, will field Mason Rudolph as the starting quarterback in place of the injured Will Levis. Levis, who suffered a Grade 2 AC sprain in his right shoulder during Tennessee’s Week 4 victory over the Miami Dolphins, could be benched beyond Sunday’s game. This type of injury typically requires a four-to-five-week recovery period, and Levis’ condition will be evaluated on a weekly basis.

Titans’ Backup Plan and Player Performance

The Titans announced that Trevor Siemian would be promoted from the practice squad for Sunday’s game and will return to the practice squad afterward. Levis managed to start in Week 6’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts post the bye, but admitted that his injury had impacted some of his throws, notably an intercepted pass by Colts safety Julian Blackmon.

Practice Updates and Game Day Expectations

Levis was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice but returned to full participation on Thursday. He shared snaps with Rudolph during Friday’s practice, but was listed as questionable after limited participation on Friday. Rudolph, a seasoned professional with seven years of experience, stepped in for Levis against the Dolphins, leading the Titans to a 31-12 victory while racking up 85 passing yards. This has been the only win for the Titans this season and the first time they scored over 30 points since Jan. 2, 2022, when they triumphed over Miami 34-3.

Other Player Movements

In other team developments, the Titans placed wide receiver Treylon Burks on injured reserve and promoted defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson to the active roster from the practice squad.
