Reminder: Titans outght to resign Levis for….

When Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis left Sunday’s 19-16 loss to the Houston Texans with what seemed to be a leg injury, most of Nissan Stadium held its breath.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Levis experienced a high-ankle sprain, which is comparable to the ailment that former starter Ryan Tannehill sustained earlier in the season, which kept him out of the game and allowed Levis to assume the starting role.

The Titans would be seriously harming their chances if they allowed Levis to return to the field this season, even though he might be resilient enough to overcome the injury and play through it in Tennessee’s last three games.

With Levis averaging the second-most passing yards per game (224) among rookie quarterbacks, the Titans don’t need to see much more from him before deciding how to spend the offseason.

The organization should not take the chance of forcing the 24-year-old quarterback to play three more games behind Tennessee’s awful offensive line, which ranks tenth in the NFL in terms of pass protection.

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters on Monday, “I want to make sure that he can protect himself, that he can do his job up to the expectations that we have.” “In actuality, the ability of any player to defend themselves while playing games is the most crucial factor.”

In his eight starts, Levis has demonstrated enough for the Titans to know if he is their quarterback of the future (spoiler alert: he is).

With an 85.3 passer rating, he has completed just under 60% of his throws for 1,792 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions. In addition, Levis has an unexpected victory over the 10-4 Miami Dolphins, which he achieved by leading the Titans 64 yards on four plays in a mere 26 seconds, which was his first-ever game-winning drive and fourth-quarter comeback.

This season, the Titans offensive line has given up the fifth-highest number of sacks (50) in the NFL along with 225 pressures, 138 hurries, and 50 quarterback hits. In all honesty, Levis would be better served by resting for the remainder of the season and starting snapping again after he has an offensive line that can support him.
