In a Monday night NFL game against the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis suffered a right shoulder injury during the first quarter. The injury occurred while he was attempting to dive for a first down on third down during the Titans' second drive. After briefly leaving the field for evaluation, Levis returned to the sideline but was unable to continue playing. He completed three of four passes for 25 yards and threw an interception before exiting the game. This interception marked his ninth turnover of the season. Following Levis's departure, backup quarterback Mason Rudolph stepped in with just over four minutes remaining in the first quarter. Rudolph managed to lead the Titans to a scoring position, resulting in a 53-yard field goal by Nick Folk, giving Tennessee an early 3-0 lead. The Titans continued to build on this momentum, with Folk kicking another field goal from 52 yards to extend the lead to 6-0. Before the game against Miami, Levis had recorded 579 passing yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions in the season. His performance had shown promise, but the injury raised concerns about his ability to contribute moving forward. The Titans' coaching staff will need to assess Levis's condition and determine if he can return to play in upcoming games. This incident highlights the physical demands of the NFL and the potential for injuries that can impact a team's performance. The Titans will be closely monitoring Levis's recovery as they navigate the remainder of the season.
