Will Levis Not Practicing, Ryan Tannehill Taking First-Team Snaps

11 months ago

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is not practicing with the team on Wednesday. As a result, veteran Ryan Tannehill is taking first-team snaps under center. Levis is probably on the wrong side of questionable for Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in last week's overtime loss to the Houston Texans. High-ankle sprains typically require players to miss several weeks of action, so it's possible Levis could miss multiple games. Tannehill will return to a starting role if Levis misses any time. The 35-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain of his own in Week 6 and hasn't played since, although he's been active since Week 11. In six starts before his injury and before Levis took over the offense, Tannehill struggled with a 62.03 completion percentage, 1,128 passing yards, only two touchdowns and six interceptions.
