TENNESSEE TITANS NEWS

Won't play Week 8 Titans head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Friday that Tannehill (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As anticipated, Tannehill won't be ready to play this weekend while he continues to recover from the right high-ankle sprain he suffered in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Ravens before Tennessee went on bye for Week 7. Per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, Vrabel was unwilling to name a starting quarterback for Sunday, instead noting that he plans to have both Malik Willis and Will Levis get reps under center. After failing to practice in any fashion Week 8, Tannehill may struggle to gain clearance for Week 9, as the Titans are set to travel to Pittsburgh for a Thursday night game and are likely to hold walk-throughs or light practices leading up to that contest.

Misses another practice Whyle (concussion) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The 24-year-old tight end out of Cincinnati recorded his second consecutive DNP at Thursday's practice, which increases the likelihood that he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend. Whyle has appeared in six games for the Titans this season, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards and one touchdown.

Not practicing again Tannehill (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site, Tannehill is dealing with what he described as a right high-ankle sprain, an injury that leaves the quarterback unlikely to play Sunday against the Falcons. If Tannehill ends up sidelined this weekend, head coach Mike Vrabel has said that both Will Levis and Malik Willis will be in line to see snaps in the contest. Levis is expected to start in such a scenario and would likely be in store to take the majority of the snaps at quarterback.

Placed on injured reserve The Titans placed Stallworth (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Stallworth will be out for at least the next four games after playing in just one game since signing with the Titans in early October. Kyle Peko should see increased playing time with Stallworth now out.

Full participant in practice Molden (hamstring) was a full participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Molden did not travel to London for the team's Week 6 loss to the Ravens but is seemingly healthy again. The 24-year-old has played on both defense and special teams through four games this season compiling 20 tackles (13 solo) and a pass deflection, and he will look to add to those numbers versus Atlanta on Sunday.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Full go in practice Wednesday Tart (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Tart is healthy again after missing the past two games with a toe injury. The 26-year-old has logged 10 tackles (eight solo) in four games this season and will now return to his starting spot at nose tackle.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Wednesday Gifford (hamstring) participated fully in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Gifford has missed the team's past three games after injuring his hamstring but is now healthy again. The 28-year-old should be good to go for this week's game versus the Falcons where he'll look to contribute on special teams.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Tennessee Wallace was claimed off waivers by the Titans on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.

Impact Wallace was let go by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but he was quickly scooped up by Tennessee. The team traded starting safety Kevin Byard to the Eagles on Monday, so Wallace will provide them some additional depth at the position. The 26-year-old has compiled a career-high 43 tackles, and has also intercepted a pass and deflected four others over seven games with Arizona this season.

Titans prep QBs Levis, Willis even as coach hopes for Tannehill's return

Tennessee rookie quarterback Will Levis sure looks as if he will make his NFL debut Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons

No limitations in practice Moore (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports that Moore is still in concussion protocol after a bye week, though full participation Wednesday suggests he has good odds to be cleared Thursday or Friday. Treylon Burks' impending return from a knee injury combined with quarterback Ryan Tannehill's expected absence for this Sunday's game against the Falcons leaves Moore with an uncertain role and minimal fantasy appeal in Week 8.

Full participant in practice return Burks (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Burks is thus set to rejoin the lineup after three missed games before the Titans went on bye Week 7. He won't have the best situation to put up numbers even if he faces no restrictions with his snap count, as Ryan Tannehill (ankle) appears set to miss at least Sunday's game. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that both Will Levis and Malik Willis should take snaps at quarterback this Sunday against the Falcons, which could prompt the Titans to lean even more heavily than usual on the ground game.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing this week Burks (knee) is taking part in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Burks is back at practice after a Week 7 bye, potentially setting up a return to the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. He hasn't played since Week 3, at which point Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was still healthy and under center. Head coach Mike Vrabel suggested both Will Levis and Malik Willis may get playing time at quarterback this week, with Levis shaping up as the probable starter.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Whyle (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Whyle suffered a concussion in Week 6 prior to the Titans' bye week, but it looks like he has yet to clear the league's protocol. More clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons will come as the week progresses.

Not practicing Wednesday Tannehill (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Per Wyatt, Tannehill confirmed that he's dealing with a right high-ankle sprain, and even with the benefit of a Week 7 bye to recover, the quarterback may have a tough time gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the Falcons. If Tannehill is unavailable this weekend, head coach Mike Vrabel told Wyatt that both Will Levis and Malik Willis would be in line to see action Week 8. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Wednesday that the Titans are preparing Levis to start, though Vrabel wouldn't confirm as much and reiterated that both Levis and Willis could see time regardless of whom replaces Tannehill as the starter.

Impact Per Wyatt, Vrabel suggested that if Tannehill doesn't play this weekend, the Titans may opt to alternate series between Levis and Willis. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Tennessee was prepping Levis to be the team's Week 8 starter, but for now the situation still looks to be fluid. Tannehill isn't set to practice Wednesday and appears to be trending toward missing at least one game.

Expected to give way to Levis Willis is a candidate to see snaps in Sunday's game against Falcons, though the Titans are preparing Will Levis to start and see the bulk of the playing time at quarterback in the...

Impact Added clarity on the Titans' plans at quarterback should emerge in the coming days, but if Tannehill is indeed ruled out ahead of the Week 8 contest, Tennessee looks as though it'll give Levis the first opportunity to replace the veteran signal-caller. Willis has been active ahead of Levis as the Titans' No. 2 quarterback for each of the team's first six games and has made two appearances, completing four of five pass attempts for 74 yards while adding 17 yards on three carries and taking four sacks. If the Titans do in fact opt for a timeshare arrangement between Levis and Willis in Week 8, the latter could be deployed as more of a change-of-pace option than a traditional pocket passer due to his rushing ability.

Preparing for start vs. Falcons The Titans are expected to start Levis over Malik Willis during Sunday's game against the Falcons with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) not expected to be available, Ian Rapoport of NFL Netw...

Impact Head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that both Levis and Willis would be expected to see the field if Tannehill's high-ankle sprain keeps him sidelined Week 8. Though he's been the Titans' No. 3 quarterback all season, Levis looks primed to draw the start and see the bulk of the playing time behind center over Willis, who has appeared in relief of Tannehill in Weeks 3 and 6. The Titans' Week 7 bye likely gave Levis some more time to prepare for assignment, and with Willis having struggled to impress in his limited NFL action through his first two seasons in the league, it makes sense for the Tennessee to take a look at the rookie second-round pick as early as possible and see what he offers.
