Tennessee Titans sophomore quarterback Malik Willis will start Saturday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears, according to a report from Paul Kuharsky. Mike Vrabel and acting head coach Terrell Williams previously declined opportunities to name a starter. Ryan Tannehill hasn’t appeared in an exhibition contest since becoming the full-time starter. Starting Willis is the appropriate decision.

Kuharasky didn’t offer insight into how long Willis will remain under center, but we’d anticipate Willis playing the entire first half.
