Monday’s practice just threw a wrench into the Titans’ QB room, with backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky reportedly grabbing his right arm after firing off a pass. Head coach Robert Saleh wasted no time confirming the news after practice: Trubisky is now getting evaluated for a biceps injury.
What’s Up With Trubisky?
This is a rough blow for the veteran, who only just signed with the Titans as a free agent this offseason to be their No. 2 guy behind Cam Ward. You never want to see a player go down like that, especially so early in the season when everyone is still finding their rhythm and getting into game shape. It sounds like he felt something immediately after throwing, which is always a scary sight for a quarterback.
Will Levis Steps Up?
If Trubisky is sidelined for any stretch, the spotlight immediately swings to Will Levis, the team’s third quarterback. This is the exact moment Levis has been talking about, the chance to back up his claim that he’s one of the best 32 QBs in the league. Now, he might actually get the reps to show it, stepping into that primary backup role. The Titans are definitely holding their breath, waiting for the results of that evaluation. This early season injury could be a huge shake-up for their quarterback situation moving forward.
