Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan would not commit to a starting quarterback for their Week 16 game.

Callahan told reporters Monday that he’ll take the next two days to decide if Will Levis or Mason Rudolph will start next week’s game at the Indianapolis Colts (6-8).

Callahan yanked Levis in the third quarter of Sunday’s 37-27 loss to the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, dropping the Titans to 3-11. Levis threw for just 89 yards and three interceptions, including a pick six.

“Today wasn’t his day,” Callahan said of Levis. “He had a couple of bad picks, put us in some tough spots. So, I made the decision to sit him down and try to give us a little bit of a spark.”

Rudolph completed 21 of 26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns — one on the final play of the game — and an interception.

On the season, Levis has thrown for 1,916 yards with 12 TDs and 12 INTs. He is 5-15 as the starter in his first two seasons in the NFL.

Rudolph is in his first season in Tennessee after spending his first four in Pittsburgh. He is 9-6-1 as the starter in his career, including 1-2 in 2024.
