On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks go to Nashville to play the Tennessee Titans; however, it’s looking more and more likely that Will Levis, the rookie quarterback for the Titans, will be sidelined by an injury.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Levis will not play on Sunday because of an ankle injury he sustained in the team’s Week 15 19-16 overtime loss to the Houston Texans.
#Titans QB Will Levis, dealing with a high-ankle sprain, is not expected to be able to play today, source said. He pushed to be on the field, practicing on Friday. But couldn't quite get there.
Ryan Tannehill will start.

“Titans QB Will Levis, dealing with a high-ankle sprain, is not expected to be able to play today, source said,” “He pushed to be on the field, practicing on Friday. But couldn’t quite get there. Ryan Tannehill will start.”
In eight career games, Levis—the 33rd overall choice in the 2023 NFL Draft—has completed 147 of 249 passes for 1,792 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions. In addition, he has 25 more carries for 57 yards and one more touchdown.
In remarks to the media this week, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gave Levis high praise. He said,
“He’s really smart, really bright kid,” “Good command, confident, really impressive. He’s a very impressive guy. We thought that he was as good as prospect as anybody in the group there. … He’s so sharp and can handle it and put it in the right perspective. I don’t know that until you really get with him, but that’s what our impressions were. We really thought a lot of him.”
