Team news: Tennessee Titans | Page 1

Sunday’s win over the Texans was Tennessee’s first since quarterback Will Levis returned from a right shoulder injury and it continued a run of improved play for the second-year player.

Levis was 18-of-24 for 274 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the 32-27 win and he’s thrown for 748 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions in the last three weeks.

Callahan said, via the team’s website, “But I’ve just been really happy with the way Will has progressed. He’s played winning football from that position, really over the last three weeks, and I’d like to see it continue.”

The story said Callahan was also asked if that kind of performance will make Levis the long-term answer at the position, "I hesitate to make any proclamations or anything like that." The Titans are likely just taking it a week at a time with Levis, but seem pleased with the steps he's made since the start of the season and especially since he's come back from his shoulder injury. Levis has at least been a decent QB2 option for multi-QB and superflex leagues.

Other 49ers beat reporters had mentioned that Purdy "shut himself down" "mid-practice" on Thursday, which certainly can't be a good sign. All skill position players would take a step down if either Allen or Dobbs ends up playing this weekend, and either would be a QB streaming option for Superflex leagues.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

Spears was back in action in Week 10 and essentially split the work with seven carries and a team-high 47 yards rushing with three catches for four yards. Pollard out-touched Spears 13-10 in the game. This past week Spears exited early but the running game was held in check. If Spears can't play in Week 12, Pollard would likely lead the way, but it would be a tough matchup against the Texans.

Titans QB Will Levis will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Chargers, coach Brian Callahan said.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph

Levis returns to the field, but he'll do so without DeAndre Hopkins to throw it to. Levis should not be started here in Week 10.

Mason Rudolph has started the last three games while Will Levis recovers from a right shoulder injury, but Callahan has said that Levis will still be the starter once he is healthy enough to play. Callahan reiterated that at his Monday press conference and said that he expects Levis to do more work at practice in the coming days ahead of a possible return to action against the Chargers.

“I’m hopeful this is the week,” Callahan said.

Rudolph was 20-of-33 for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday’s overtime win over the Patriots. He’s 67-of-111 for 721 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions in his three starts will Levis out. The Titans will visit the Chargers in a later Sunday game in Week 10.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

WR Calvin Ridley is off the injury report.

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Titans quarterback Will Levis is getting closer to returning from his shoulder injury — and there’s a chance it could happen this week.

“We’ll see where he’s at. I’m optimistic he’s in a better place after some rest,” head coach Brian Callahan said in his Monday press conference. “He’s probably going to take another day or two of some rest and we’ll see what he looks like Wednesday. So, I can’t comment with any certainty what’ll be the case."

The Titans will need to see what they have in Levis and give him as much time as they can the rest of the season, especially sitting at 1-6 so far this year. The team just traded WR DeAndre Hopkins to Kansas City and will again look toward the future. Rudolph filled in the last two weeks with Levis sidelined, but won't be more than a backup option going forward. Levis hasn't been great and the Titans will likely have some decisions to make heading into next year. In his five starts this season, Levis has completed 66.4 percent of his throws for 699 yards with five touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Sources: Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins is being traded to the Chiefs in exchange for a 5th rounder that can get to a fourth rounder. Deal is being finalized.

A key veteran who could be the final piece, Hopkins name has been hot in the trade market. Now, he lands with the champs.

Even with the un-serious looking Chiefs wide receiver room over the last few weeks, they have remained undefeated. Though Patrick Mahomes has been trending toward the worst statistical performance of his career, it's hard to see why the fans/team would care if they just glide to the Super Bowl again.

This is an obvious boost for Mahomes' fantasy aspirations and puts Hopkins back on the WR2 radar in good matchups. This is also a boost to Calvin Ridley, but his ceiling is still extremely capped with poor quarterback play in a terrible offensive environment.
