The Tennessee Titans are coming off their first win of the season after they beat the Miami Dolphins 31-12 on the road on Monday night.
However, they lost starting quarterback Will Levis to a shoulder injury earlier on in the game.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Levis should be fine coming out of the team’s bye week but is not entirely sure when he will be fully healthy.
“(the injury) Doesn’t sound overly serious…It is clear that Levis is their starter when healthy. Just not absolutely clear when that’s going to be,” Rapoport said Wednesday on The Insiders.
#Titans QB Will Levis, who was held out of the MNF win with a shoulder injury, should be fine when the team returns from the bye, sources say. At that point, as coach Brian Callahan said, he’s the starter.

Levis is a talented player but has struggled so far this season, especially with the turnovers.
He has thrown six interceptions and fumbled multiple times over.
It is interesting that he got hurt earlier on in the team’s win against the Dolphins.
He has yet to put together an encouraging performance under first-year head coach Brian Callahan and even though Tennessee ended up blowing out Miami, Levis wasn’t necessarily involved in the blowout portion of the game.
Yes, he is still the starter and clearly has a lot of the talent that head coaches want in their starting quarterback.
But depending on how he comes out of the bye week and if the shaky performances continue, Callahan might want to stick with the veteran backup in Mason Rudolph, who has experience winning in the league.
Time will tell to see what Callahan wants to do with Levis by the time next week rolls around.
