Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis suffered an ankle injury last Sunday in the team’s overtime loss to the Texans. He went 17-of-26 for 199 yards with an interception prior to the injury.
Levis missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to his ankle injury, casting serious doubt around his status for Week 16.
The latest update on his status, however, is quite interesting. It turns out Levis was on the practice field.
Longtime Titans reporter Jim Wyatt shared a video of Levis getting loose at practice this Friday.

If Levis is unable to play this Sunday against the Seahawks, Ryan Tannehill will start at quarterback. He spoke to the media this week about potentially returning to that role.
“I’m just taking it a day at a time right now, figuring out what is going on while also getting myself ready to play,” Tannehill said, via John Glennon of the Nashville Post. “Obviously you try to prepare as a starter every week. But in a week like this week, it’s a little more intense, just trying to make sure I’m on top of everything.”
Tannehill hasn’t started for the Titans since Oct. 15 against the Ravens.
