Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis is in line to start Sunday against the Houston Texans, head coach Mike Vrabel announced Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Levis suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 15 and missed last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Ryan Tannehill started that game, completing 69.2% of his passes for 152 yards.
The Titans, who had Tannehill under center to start the season, turned to Levis in Week 8 after drafting him in the second round in April. The Kentucky product provided an offensive spark, tossing four touchdowns in his debut, but has been inconsistent since. The 24-year-old has posted a 59% completion rate with 1,792 yards and eight touchdowns against four interceptions through eight games.
The 5-10 Titans are already eliminated from playoff contention.
With Levis under center, Tennessee is expected to revamp its offensive unit in 2024. Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry - two cornerstones of the Titans' offense in recent years - will be free agents in the offseason.
