Titans QB Will Levis to start vs. Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis participated in practice throughout the week and will be under center to start against the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Titans head coach Brian Callahan made the announcement Friday in regard to Levis, who sustained a right (throwing) shoulder injury during the team's 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 30. Mason Rudolph replaced Levis in that game.

The Titans had a bye in Week 5.

"(Levis) took every rep and made every throw in practice well," Callahan said. "It hasn't affected his practice or him throwing."

Callahan also said defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is expected to play against the Colts (2-3), while safety Jamal Adams (hip) and defensive lineman Keondre Coleman (knee) have been ruled out for the game.

Levis was injured while diving to get extra yardage on a scramble to his right. He stretched out both arms with the ball and landed hard on the shoulder out of bounds with just more than seven minutes left in the first quarter. He was marked short of the first down.

Levis, 25, has thrown for 604 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions in four games this season for the Titans (1-3).

He has passed for 2,412 yards with 12 touchdowns and 10 picks in 13 career games (all starts) since being selected by Tennessee in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
