Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will miss Sunday’s game against the Texans with an illness, so backup quarterback Malik Willis is expected to get the start instead, the team announced.
Tannehill spent all week listed as “questionable” during practice with an illness and ankle injury he suffered last week. Thus far, Tannehill has started every game the Titans have played this season, leading them to a 4-2 start and first place in the AFC South.
This will be the first game that Tannehill has missed since taking over as the team’s starting quarterback during the 2019 season. Since then, the Titans are 34-15 overall in games that Tannehill started, which includes back-to-back AFC South division titles and double-digit victory seasons. The quarterback has totaled over 1,000 yards passing with six touchdowns and three interceptions so far this year.
