The Titans waived Will Levis after demoting him to third string, ending his Nashville run despite flashes of promise in 2023. With a poor 2024 season and Tennessee drafting Cam Ward No. 1 overall, Levis now seeks a new NFL home.

The Tennessee Titans waived quarterback Will Levis after a tumultuous stretch that included 21 career starts and a 2025 season missed due to a shoulder injury.

CBS Sports identifies 20 high‑profile NFL veterans who could be casualties as teams trim to 53 players for 2026.

Titans backup quarterback Will Levis told reporters he believes he should be an NFL starter with 100% confidence, as he competes with veteran Mitchell Trubisky for the No. 2 role behind Cam Ward in training camp. Levis pointed to his tape and rising self-belief, noting his 2023 rookie-season nine starts and 2024 line of 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions (with six fumbles) before missing time due to shoulder surgery; the Titans drafted Ward No. 1 overall in 2025 and Ward started all 17 games, while Levis was sidelined, leaving Levis optimistic he can reclaim a starting spot in the future.
Titans quarterback Will Levis, who’s competing with Mitch Trubisky to back up Cam Ward, says he knows he’s among the NFL’s 32 best quarterbacks.

Tate stood out with three touchdowns and multiple catches, while undrafted Hank Beatty and Tyren Montgomery contributed, and several veterans were out since OTAs are voluntary.

Will Levis, the Tennessee Titans quarterback, has decided to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, likely ending his tenure with the team and paving the way for Cam Ward to be the starter.
