Ryan Tannehill misses practice, Tennessee Titans starting Will Levis 'unless something changes'

Another Tennessee Titans practice without quarterback Ryan Tannehill points to another opportunity for rookie quarterback Will Levis.

Tannehill was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's Titans practice, the last formal practice before the team heads to Pittsburgh to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) on Thursday (7:15 p.m. CT, Amazon Prime Video). Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that if Tannehill is unable to go, Levis — who started Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in his first NFL action — will handle quarterbacking responsibilities.

"I don't see Ryan being able to do much today," Vrabel said. "So I would imagine that as of today, it'll be Will, unless something changes. So we'll see. But right now, I don't see Ryan being able to do much with the ankle."

The Titans (3-4) also practiced without tackle Chris Hubbard, who is dealing with a concussion, and receiver Chris Moore, who was absent for non-injury related reasons but is expected to be back for Thursday's game.

Tuesday was a rest day for several of the biggest-name veterans. Defensive lineman Denico Autry was limited for non-injury reasons, and running back Derrick Henry and receiver DeAndre Hopkins were limited with ankle and toe injuries, respectively. Cornerback Roger McCreary was limited with the hamstring injury that held him out of Sunday's win against the Falcons, but Vrabel said he liked the progress McCreary has made through the week.

The Titans' complete injury report for Tuesday is below.
