Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis left Sunday’s 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans with a foot injury and it’s unclear if he’ll be back for the team’s season finale next week against Jacksonville.
“We will see how it is,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “I don’t think it’s anything that’s going to be too, too serious. He couldn’t finish the game. We will see where things are tomorrow.”
Levis was injured on a strip-sack by Jerry Hughes early in the second quarter. Sheldon Rankins scooped the ball up and returned it for a touchdown to make it 17-0.
Levis got on a cart and was taken to the locker room and Ryan Tannehill took over. He threw for 168 yards but couldn’t get the Titans (5-11) in the end zone as they lost to the Texans (9-7) for the second time this month after falling in OT in Week 15.
Tannehill said it’s difficult when the starting quarterback goes down, but that everyone has to pitch in to make things easier.
“We’ve just got to do better of doing our job all around,” he said. “If it’s blocking, then blocking. If it’s catching, catching. If it’s throwing, throwing. Whatever the case may be, we just got to do a better job of doing our job.”
The Texans had six sacks Sunday after finishing with seven in the 19-16 overtime victory on Dec. 17.
“We have to be able to protect the quarterback,” Vrabel said. “The numbers are the numbers. You’ve got to be able to protect the quarterback if you want to be able to throw a pass in this league.”
