The Tennessee Titans’ 2024 season kicked off with high hopes, as first-year head coach Brian Callahan joined forces with quarterback Will Levis.
Fans dreamed of a revamped offense that would light up the scoreboard. But five games in, reality has hit hard.
With a disappointing 1-4 record, the Titans find themselves leaning heavily on their ground game and defense just to stay competitive.
The vision of Levis blossoming into a star under Callahan’s tutelage seems to be fading fast.
To make matters worse, Levis has had a rollercoaster week on the injury front, per Insider Paul Kuharsky.
After limited practice on Wednesday, he went full-out Thursday, only to dial it back again on Friday.

Now, he’s landed on the Week 7 injury report as questionable with a nagging right shoulder issue – the same one that sidelined him in Week 4.
While it’s too early to count Levis out for Sunday, this late-week downgrade is cause for concern.
He’s started every game this season, but his performance has been a mixed bag, marred by turnovers and inconsistency.
His last outing was particularly underwhelming, with a mere 95 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
The injury woes don’t stop with Levis.
The Titans will be without running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring), wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee), and defensive lineman Keondre Coburn (knee). Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is also questionable.
The Titans indeed face an uphill battle as Sunday’s game approaches.
