NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder and miss the entire 2025 season.
The team later confirmed the news in a statement, writing: “After consulting with doctors and his representatives, Will Levis has decided to undergo shoulder surgery that will sideline him for the entire 2025 season. We support his decision to focus on his long-term health. He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery.”
Levis sustained an initial AC joint injury in the shoulder in a Sept. 30 win over the Miami Dolphins. He returned to action for an Oct. 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but missed the next three games. He finished the year with a 2-10 record as a starter.
Levis, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, completed 61% of his throws for 3,899 yards, 21 scores and 16 interceptions over 21 appearances over the last two seasons. He completed 63.1% of his throws for 2,091 yards, 13 scores and 12 interceptions in 12 starts last season.
Titans players are to report to training camp Tuesday at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park in Nashville. He was to compete with Cam Ward — the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft — for starting duties at Titans training camp. Ward took the majority of reps with the Titans during their off-season program and was widely expected to win the job. Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle are the other quarterbacks on the Titans roster.
