NFL Rumors: Bears-Chase Young trade, Chiefs trade buzz, Titans QB controversy

NFL Rumors: Will Titans continue to play Will Levis at QB for rest of season?

Will Levis was considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft, with there being buzz that he could be picked as high as second overall. However, the Kentucky Wildcats signal caller fell out of the first round completely, but the Tennessee Titans traded up early in the second round to select him.

Levis made his first start on Sunday afternoon in place of an injured Ryan Tannehill, who suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 6. In the game, Levis threw for 283 yards and four touchdowns in the team's 28-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It may be one start, but Levis showed that he could potentially be the franchise's answer at quarterback for the foreseeable future. But will he be the QB1 for the remainder of the season?

Ahead of the team's Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that Levis will be the starter, but only if Tannehill isn't cleared for the game.

Beyond Week 9, Vrabel didn't give any firm plans on what they would do beyond that if Tannehill were to be healthy.

"Until Ryan is healthy," said Vrabel, h/t the Titan's official website. "I don't think I am ready to make a determination. … We're talking about hypotheticals. We'll get Ryan healthy and see where things are at then."

While Levis is likely to play in Week 9, this does open the door for a potential quarterback controversy, based on Vrabel's comments. If Tannehill is healthy, does Vrabel sit the hot hand who led the team to a victory after the bye week? Let's not forget that Levis already surpassed Tannehill's passing touchdown total on the year. The

Through six games this season, Tannehill threw for 1,128 yards, two touchdowns, and six interceptions while completing 62.0 percent of his passes.

The Titans quarterback situation will be worth monitoring leading up to Thursday night, and beyond that game.
