The bye proved beneficial for Levis' preparation as a starter after not seeing any live action since the first preseason game on Aug. 12. Coach Mike Vrabel said that if Tannehill was unable to go, Levis and Willis would split time at quarterback. Both stayed at the facility during the bye and threw passes to wide receiver, who was gearing up to return to the lineup after missing the previous three games with a left knee injury.
Willis, who the Titans also traded up for in the 2022 draft before taking him in the third round, had won the backup job last season but struggled when pressed into duty. He went 1-2 in three starts and was replaced by veteranWillis was named the backup this season, but that didn't deter Levis, and the coaching staff explored different ways to bring their young quarterbacks along while still focusing on each week's opponent.
"It's just trying to find different ways to make sure they're ready, improving, and developing because we only have so many guys to run full-speed reps with," Vrabel said. "I don't care where the defense wants you to throw the ball," Vrabel told Levis."Just throw it to the guy that's open, take control of the huddle, make sure you're practicing all the things you would want to practice while you're running our offense."The coaching staff reviewed the scout team reps every Saturday morning and evaluated Levis.
Offensive coordinator Tim Kelly was confident enough to not scale down the game plan against the Falcons despite it being Levis' first start.
