Rudolph Takes the Helm for the Titans Amid Levis’ Injury

Mason Rudolph Steps Up as Titans’ Quarterback

In a recent revelation from a reliable source, backup quarterback Mason Rudolph will lead the Tennessee Titans against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday due to Will Levis’ shoulder injury. Levis incurred the injury during Tennessee’s Week 4 triumph over the Miami Dolphins, while he was attempting a first down dive.

Details on Levis’ Injury

Levis’ injury is a Grade 2 AC sprain in the shoulder. This could keep him off the field for more than just the upcoming Sunday game as it is typically a four-to-five-week injury. Even though Levis has a history of playing through injuries, this one necessitates a week-by-week evaluation.

Changes in the Titans’ Squad

Following the injury, the Titans made changes to their roster. Trevor Siemian, who was promoted from the practice squad for Sunday’s match, will return to the practice squad afterward. Despite the injury, Levis managed to start in the Titans’ Week 6 game against the Indianapolis Colts, but admitted that his performance was hampered. One notable instance was an interception by Colts safety Julian Blackmon, which Levis attributed to his injury.

Practice and Performance Updates

Levis was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice but was back to full participation by Thursday. Both Rudolph and Levis took snaps in Friday’s practice, but Levis’ limited participation led to his designation as questionable for the upcoming game.

Rudolph Shines in Levis’ Absence

Seven-year veteran Rudolph stepped in for the injured Levis against the Dolphins, guiding the Titans to a 31-12 victory with his 85 passing yards. This win marked the Titans’ only victory of the season and the first time they scored more than 30 points since their 34-3 win over Miami on January 2, 2022.

Roster Adjustments Continue

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