The Tennessee Titans are at a crossroads.
The team is sitting at 2-4 heading into the bye, and now their starting QB is dealing with an ankle injury. There has been no timetable given for Ryan Tannehill's injury, but Mike Vrabel said the injury is similar to the one the QB suffered last season.
Regardless of Tannehill's health, the Titans should go ahead and make a move at the position. There are a couple of other moves the team should make as well.
Will Levis needs to start for the rest of the season

When Tannehill got hurt against the Ravens, Malik Willis came in. In fact, Willis has been the primary backup all season. However, the results with Willis have been subpar, and it is 100% clear that Willis will not be the long-term answer.
Levis, on the other hand, has not had any real game time yet. Sure, the rookie looked rough this summer, but all rookies have growing pains. I'm not implying Levis is definitely the long-term answer, but we know Tannehill and Willis aren't.
Sitting at 2-4 and in dead-last in the division, playoffs seem like a longshot at this point. There is no way the team can go into the offseason without knowing what they have in Levis. The 2024 NFL Draft class is loaded with front-end talent at the QB position, and the Titans cannot afford to miss one of those guys if Levis isn't the answer. Either way, Levis needs to play so the Titans can weigh their options. You gain nothing from trotting out a banged-up Tannehill or Willis.
It’s time to bench Kristian Fulton

Late in the game against the Ravens, Mike Vrabel decided to sub Tre Avery in for Kristian Fulton. The results weren’t any worse with Avery in the game.
The Fulton situation is complicated. For one, Vrabel was clearly annoyed with the corner this summer after he skipped out on OTAs. Add in that Fulton is in a contract year and he's been playing badly, and it makes sense for the Titans to go ahead and move on.
Fulton has a putrid 45.1 PFF grade this season. Per PFF, the corner has been targeted 23 times and has allowed 18 receptions. Fulton has been unable to get any interceptions and has often looked lost on the field.
Nobody is going to trade for a struggling corner on an expiring deal, so the Titans would be unlikely to move him. Instead, younger guys like Eric Garror, Tre Avery, and Anthony Kendall should get Fulton's snaps to see if they are worthy of being pieces for the future.
Keep Andre Dillard on the bench while you’re at it.

To say the Dillard contract was a huge miss is an understatement. Dillard has been terrible in Nashville, earning a 52.8 PFF grade. Per PFF, Dillard has allowed 7 sacks and has been penalized 3 times. No tackle in the league has been directly responsible for more sacks than Dillard.
Nicholas Petit-Frere had a horrible first game back, but at least he's shown to be a capable starter at points. On the other hand, Chris Hubbard has come in and been a solid tackle for the Titans. It probably makes the most sense to move Hubbard to the left side and NPF to the right.
It's already time for the Titans to cut their losses with Dillard.
