Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been removed from the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury, paving the way for second-year quarterback Malik Willis to enter the contest.
The injury occurred in the third quarter when Tannehill had his ankle rolled up on by a Ravens defender. The veteran signal-caller was clearly limping but was able to stay in the game initially with his ankle heavily taped.
However, he would later leave to the locker room via cart. As of this writing, Tannehill is listed as questionable to return.
With Tannehill hurt, the Titans inserted Willis into the game. Tennessee also has rookie Will Levis, but as the emergency quarterback he can come into the game only if Willis gets hurt as well.
Tannehill dealt with an ankle injury in 2022 that sidelined him for several games and ultimately helped derail Tennessee’s season.
There have been many in the fan base calling for the Titans to make a switch at the position. It looks like they’ll get what they were asking for, albeit because of an injury.
