NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is adjusting to life as a backup after rookie Will Levis was named the starting quarterback for the rest of the season on Tuesday.
"It hits hard," Tannehill said Wednesday. "I've never been in this situation before, never a situation that anyone wants to be in, but it's a situation I'm in."
Tannehill said Titans coach Mike Vrabel told him Monday that Levis was going to be the starter. Vrabel informed the team on Tuesday.
Over the past couple of days, Tannehill has tried to "walk through" the emotions and prepare to be the backup.
