Concerns have surfaced among Tennessee Titans fans after Will Levis suffered an injury during a recent NFL game against the Miami Dolphins. The talented quarterback left the game after an awkward fall on his throwing shoulder, sparking questions about the severity of his injury and when he might return to action. As the Titans navigate their season, Levis’ condition and recovery will be closely watched.
Here are the latest updates on Will Levis’ injury, recovery timeline, and its impact on the Titans.
How did Will Levis get injured playing football?
Will Levis sustained an injury during a Week 4 Monday Night Football game against the Miami Dolphins (via NBC News).
While diving for a first down during Tennessee’s second drive, Levis landed awkwardly on his right throwing shoulder. This injury forced him to leave the game in the first quarter. He attempted to throw on the sidelines, but discomfort in his shoulder led head coach Brian Callahan to pull him from the game to prevent further injury.
Backup quarterback Mason Rudolph took over, leading the Titans to their first win of the season, 31-12. Despite the injury, Callahan confirmed that Levis remains the starting quarterback if healthy.
When will Will Levis return to play NFL?
Levis is expected to return after the Titans’ upcoming bye week, depending on the results of his MRI.
The team does not believe Will Levis’ injury is severe, though they are monitoring a potential AC joint issue, which is a relatively common injury among quarterbacks. Coach Callahan stated, “Will’s healthy, he’s our quarterback. He’s our starter when he’s healthy, and we’re ready to roll with him,” (via ESPN).
While the exact timeline for his return depends on medical evaluations, Levis is expected to recover soon. The bye week allows for extra recovery time. The Titans will monitor his progress closely to ensure he is ready before returning to the field.
