The Tennessee Titans dodged a bullet during the Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans after quarterback Will Levis went down with an ankle injury in overtime.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Levis is believed to have suffered a sprained ankle, which is good news considering how serious it looked initially.
As of now, it doesn’t appear to be of the high-ankle variety, so there’s a shot we see Levis again this season. If it does turn out to be a high-ankle sprain, the rookie will likely miss the remainder of the season.
At this point, missing the rest of the season might be the best thing for him, as the offensive line simply cannot be trusted to protect Levis, who was sacked seven times on Sunday.
With those seven sacks, this putrid group has actually managed to be worse than last year’s offensive line, which gave up one less sack. Bear in mind there’s still three games left to play.
It goes without saying that the No. 1 priority for Titans general manager Ran Carthon will be fixing the offensive line, as Levis’ development (and well-being) greatly depends on it.
The good news is, the Titans will have a ton of cap space and a high draft pick to help the cause.
