One of the most talked about competitions for the Tennessee Titans this offseason has been the battle for the No. 2 quarterback job, which was between Malik Willis and Will Levis.
While Willis played all three preseason games and showed improvement in the process, Levis, who did some good things in preseason Week 1, was unable to take part in the last two games because of injury.
Following another solid performance from Willis in preseason Week 3 on Friday, head coach Mike Vrabel was asked if the team has decided who will be Ryan Tannehill’s backup to start the season.
Vrabel said the decision has not been made yet.
“I don’t think so,” Vrabel said when asked if there was a decision, per Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. “As it stands now, with Will’s availability, we’ll get him back this week.
“But I thought that Malik took a big step yesterday. Unfortunately, you have the turnovers but there was a lot of cool stuff that happened after that. And I wouldn’t say that we were great in front of him; I thought our receivers showed up and did a nice job most of the night. And Malik has to make some better decisions. And then we’ll see where Will’s at here this week.”

Assuming the Titans haven’t made a decision behind the scenes, it looks like the competition between Willis and Levis will continue for at least another week, and quite possibly two with the 2023 campaign not set to start until Sept. 10.
