Former Second-Round QB Surprisingly Not Claimed on Waivers
Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has cleared waivers after being released by the Titans on Sunday.
The Tennessee Titans made an unexpected decision on Sunday by releasing quarterback Will Levis and moving forward with a two-man quarterbacks room consisting of starter Cam Ward and former second-overall pick Mitchell Trubisky. Levis, who was initially viewed as a potential trade asset after the Titans selected Ward first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, was sidelined for the entire 2026 season due to a shoulder injury sustained in July 2025.
Despite Levis' strong preseason performance, it became evident early on that Trubisky was being groomed as the experienced backup, with Levis' future in Tennessee appearing uncertain. The Titans would have likely preferred to trade Levis for a small cap savings (around $750,000) rather than release him without any compensation. However, no teams expressed interest in claiming Levis on waivers after his release, which may suggest that he is on his way to a practice squad assignment.
