Titans' Levis Remains Starter Despite Injury

The Tennessee Titans are facing a challenging matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 8, with starting quarterback Will Levis likely out due to a Grade 2 AC sprain in his right shoulder. In his absence, veteran Mason Rudolph is expected to start, but his performance has drawn criticism, as he has not shown improvement over Levis. The Titans' offense is further weakened by the recent trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and ongoing injuries to key players, including running back Tyjae Spears and right tackle Jaelyn Duncan. Coach Brian Callahan remains committed to evaluating Levis throughout the season, emphasizing the need for better overall team performance. The Titans are struggling with a 1-5 record, making them significant underdogs against the 5-2 Lions. With Detroit's strong defense and Rudolph at the helm, the Titans will need to rely heavily on their run game and defensive adjustments to remain competitive.
