The Tennessee Titans will take on the Atlanta Falcons at Nissan Stadium in Week 8 in a game that could give us a glimpse into the future of the franchise.
With quarterback Ryan Tannehill unlikely to play, the Titans are reportedly expected to start rookie Will Levis, who will be making his NFL debut after Tennessee took him in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft.
There really is no telling how Levis will perform, but even a decent outing by the rookie will give the fan base some much-needed hope for the future as the team prepares to potentially be sellers at the trade deadline, with an eye on 2024 and beyond.
If Levis can show over multiple games that he’s capable of leading this team into the future, it would solve one very big issue for a Titans team that is on the cusp of a rebuild.
Now, the reasons for optimism and concern for the Titans going into Week 8.
