NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans have an extra day coming off their early bye, and coach Brian Callahan is making sure that quarterback Will Levis uses that time for healing his throwing shoulder.
Callahan said Monday that Levis would not practice as the Titans (1-3) try to take advantage of the time spent self-scouting by coaches. The first-year coach said Levis spent much of his bye receiving treatment for the right shoulder hurt in the first quarter of last week’s win over Miami.
Callahan is expecting Levis to return to a normal practice schedule Wednesday and preparing for Sunday’s visit from Indianapolis (2-3).
“We´ll see where he´s at when we practice Wednesday, but yeah, he´s definitely better than he was after the game,” Callahan said.
Levis was hurt reaching the ball out on third down trying to pick up a first down. The second-year quarterback was seen wincing as he threw on the sideline, and backup Mason Rudolph guided the Titans to their first win.
“If he´s good to practice and good to go, then he´s going to play and that´s really, unless it´s affecting his ability to do his job, I don´t think that there´ll be any discussion on that point,” Callahan said of Levis. “Again, if it still hurts a ton and he´s having trouble throwing effectively and all those things, then yeah, it´s a whole different conversation. But again, we´ll just see how the week of practice goes. But I feel pretty good about where he should be at.”
