Quarterback Mason Rudolph is expected to start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. Will Levis is still dealing with a shoulder concussion.
According to ESPN, Levis has a Grade 2 AC sprain and could be sidelined for more games. It is considered present to present, since it is a four to five week shock.
Levis had limited practice on Wednesday and Saturday and was a complete player on Friday. He is officially listed as questionable in the group’s surprise filing, but is expected to be sidelined.
Levis recently led the NFL in performances over six weeks, with seven interceptions and three fumbles. Through 5 starts, Levis is 1-4, with 699 passing yards and 5 touchdowns.
Rudolph has not started any games for the Titans this season, but was present during their “Monday Night Football” game on September 30 against the Miami Dolphins, their first win of the year. Rudolph finished with a 52.9 touch percentage, with 85 yards, rejected landings and rejected interceptions.
Levis was ready to return after his layoff, playing everything in his 7-year game against the Indianapolis Colts, but admitting that his shoulder was limiting him slightly, which led to the QB trade.
In his five-year career, Rudolph has an 8-4-1 record in 13 starts with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has 3,170 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his career.
