The Tennessee Titans' backup quarterback battle may go in favor of Malik Willis in part because of an injury that will keep Will Levis out of Friday's preseason finale.
Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Levis isn't expected to play against the New England Patriots due to a thigh injury.
Fowler noted this does strengthen Willis' chances of being named the No. 2 quarterback going into the regular season "if he continues to show improvement."
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel hasn't officially announced who will start at quarterback on Friday night. He told reporters after Wednesday's practice there's a "possibility" Ryan Tannehill could play to get work behind the offensive line.
