Ryan Tannehill - 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.

Malik Willis - 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.

Titans reportedly tabbing QB Will Levis for Week 8 start vs. Falcons

Will Levis - 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.

Will Levis - NFL debut could come Week 8 Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday he would expect both Levis and Malik Willis to see the field Sunday versus Atlanta if Ryan Tannehill (ankle) isn't able to play, Jim Wyatt of the Tit...
Impact Levis has been a healthy scratch all season, serving as the Titans' third quarterback with Malik Willis having been the No. 2 option. If Tannehill's right high-ankle sprain requires another week of recovery, however, it sounds like Tennessee will take advantage of the opportunity to take a look at Levis under center. The rookie second-round pick missed two of Tennessee's three preseason games due to a thigh injury, so the team hasn't had many chances to evaluate him in game action yet.

Ryan Tannehill - Not ready to practice yet Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Tannehill (ankle) won't practice Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Impact Tannehill is considered unlikely to play Week 8 versus the Falcons, despite the fact that the Titans are coming off a bye, though he hasn't been ruled out yet. The veteran QB was forced to sit out the last quarter of Tennessee's loss to the Ravens in Week 6 due to a right high-ankle sprain, an injury that could require a multi-week absence. Vrabel also said he expects both Malik Willis and rookie second-round pick Will Levis to see the field versus Atlanta if Tannehill ultimately can't go.

Titans take first big step toward rebuild by trading star safety Kevin Byard
Titans safety Kevin Byard, who boosts the Eagles' title aspirations, might not be the only Tennessee veteran on the move in the next week.OCTOBER 23, 2023
Terrell Edmunds - Flipped to Tennessee in Byard deal The Titans acquired Edmunds along with 2024 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks Monday in exchange for safety Kevin Byard, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Impact After spending his first five seasons in Pittsburgh, Edmunds inked a one-year deal with the Eagles in March and lasted seven games with the team before general manager Howie Roseman sought out and found an upgrade. In Tennessee, Edmunds gives the Titans an experienced safety to fill Byard's shoes for the remainder of the season. Through his seven games with Philadelphia this season, Edmunds has recorded 28 tackles and one forced fumble.

Impact Tannehill sat out the final quarter of the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Ravens in London after suffering a right high-ankle sprain. Though the sprain is to the same ankle that he had tightrope surgery on in December, the latest version of the injury isn't considered as significant and won't require another procedure. However, Tannehill is sporting a cast on his lower leg and is using crutches so as not to put any weight on his injured ankle, so he still looks like he could still require a multi-week recovery. Malik Willis dressed as the Titans' No. 2 quarterback in Week 6 and came on in relief of the injured Tannehill, but head coach Mike Vrabel hasn't revealed whether Willis or rookie second-round pick Will Levis would draw the starting nod Week 8 if Tannehill can't play.

Trevon Wesco - Serves as No. 2 tight end Sunday Wesco went without a target across 24 snaps on offense Sunday in the Titans' 24-16 loss to the Ravens in London.
Impact Chigoziem Okonkwo remains the Titans' top tight end, but Wesco has ranked second in snap share among the position group in each of the team's six games. Wesco has drawn just two targets all season and will continue to function mostly as a blocker whenever he's on the field.
