Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has been working through an injury that has kept him out of both practices and a game. But up until this point, a lot of the details surrounding Levis' injury and status have been a mystery.
We know Levis went inside early from the second joint practice with the Vikings. We know Levis was diagnosed with a "lower body injury" and did not play in the preseason game in Minnesota. We know Levis did not participate in a practice earlier this week, but returned to practice on Wednesday with a compression sleeve on his upper left thigh.
And now, thanks to Liam Coen – Levis' former offensive coordinator at Kentucky – we think we know what type of injury Levis suffered.
Coen said in a recent press conference that he had talked to Levis recently and indicated it was a quad injury that Levis was working through. "I talked to him last week"…"I know he hurt his quad so I was a little bit hurting for him there," said Coen on Wednesday.
A left quad injury would make a lot of sense considering the compression sleeve on that part of his leg.
Levis is not expected to play against the Patriots on Friday night. The Titans obviously do not want to make the situation worse, and while the preseason is really valuable time for a rookie quarterback that may not take any regular season snaps, what's most important is Levis' long-term health.
All indications are that Tennessee is hoping Levis can be their quarterback of the future. Maybe even as soon as 2024. That makes every rep important for Levis' development in the NFL.
