Titans’ Will Levis to play against Chargers after missing three games

Nashville, Tenn. – Will Levis will play for the Titans on Sunday as they visit the Los Angeles Chargers after the second-year quarterback missed the last three games with a shoulder injury, coach Brian Callahan said Friday.

“There’s no need to wait,” Callahan told reporters after practice. “He’s had a really good week of training. He’s looked good, his best in the last few weeks, so I’m excited to see his progress.”

NFL WEEK 10 MATCHES

Levis sprained his right AC joint and went down for the first time with a shoulder tackle on Sept. 30 against Miami. Tennessee had a bye and then Levis took a home loss against Indianapolis on October 13. Levis admitted after that game that his shoulder played a role in the late-game interception that affected the three-point loss.

The Titans pulled Levis and played backup Mason Rudolph, who started the last three games for Tennessee (2-6).

Team officials want to give Levis all season to decide whether he is a good fit as a point guard long-term. Before his injury, Levis struggled with turnovers, throwing seven interceptions and forcing three turnovers. He completed 83 of 125 passes in five starts for 699 yards and five touchdowns.

“I just want to make sure I can go out there and make all the throws before I get injured, and that’s a day-to-day process of testing different things, coming off the field and monitoring my level of pain or soreness throughout the day,” Levis said Thursday. “So that’s how it happened, and I’ll know when I’m ready, when I know I’ve made those shots.”

Eagles’ hurts not listed on injury report

Jalen Hurts was clear on the injury report that he will play for Philadelphia in Dallas after coach Nick Sirianni announced Friday that the quarterback is dealing with an ankle issue.

Hurts was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice with the condition of injury-free rest. Hurt’s attendance was listed in full on Thursday and Friday. The injury report lists Hurts as playing, meaning he will play on Sunday.

When asked why Hurts was placed on the rest list when the 26-year-old wasn’t listed before, Sirianni said: “Yes, he was taking care of him; it was on the injury report. I’m dealing with his ankle. And you know, we make sure we’re careful about everything.”

Ankle was not listed as a cause on the injury report, and when another reporter asked if Hurts had an ankle injury, Sirianni replied, “What’s that?” he replied.

At that point, a member of the team’s media relations team said the listing was “rest,” and then a reporter asked if Hurts was dealing with an ankle injury. Sirianni said: “No. To relax.”

Hurts has slowly gotten back on his feet after he struggled and was sacked in last week’s 28-23 victory over Jacksonville. He never missed any time or was evaluated in the medical tent.

Cowboys want to play Prescott

Dak Prescott wants to avoid surgery so the Dallas Cowboys star quarterback can play again this season after tearing his hamstring, team owner Jerry Jones said Friday.

Jones confirmed on his radio show that Prescott’s hamstring was partially severed from the bone; this condition was known as partial rupture.

Surgery is required to completely sever the tendon from the bone, which is what happened in training camp two years ago when former Dallas left tackle Tyron Smith missed 13 games. In Prescott’s case, Jones said it may take several weeks to determine whether surgery will be necessary.

The injury occurred in last week’s 27-21 loss against Atlanta. The Cooper Rush will start in Prescott’s place on Sunday against NFC East rival Philadelphia (6-2), which the defending division champion Cowboys (3-5) will do after qualifying with 12-5 records in each of the last three seasons. will try to stay in the play-off race. .
