Fans hoping to get their first look at Will Levis in a Tennessee Titans uniform in Week 1 will reportedly have to wait.
Per the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the team has listed Levis as inactive for Sunday’s game at New Orleans, making Malik Willis QB2 for Tennessee’s season opener.

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given Malik’s growth this preseason and Levis’ growing pains.
The Titans will once again look to Ryan Tannehill to help lead them back to the playoffs after a bit of a down year last season following three straight postseason appearances and back-to-back AFC South titles.
Tennessee took Levis with the 33rd overall pick in the second round after it was rumored the former Kentucky star could go as early as the top three. At 6-foot-3, 232-pounds, Levis has the a lot of traits that NFL teams look for in a franchise QB.
However, the Titans clearly need to see more before they hand the keys over to him.
