Will Levis was supposed to be in a real fight for the starting job. A third-year quarterback going toe-to-toe with the Titans‘ new face of the franchise, No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. And for a while, the battle looked legit. Levis showed up for everything—OTAs, minicamp, all of it—doing exactly what you’d expect from someone trying to hold onto the keys.
But Ward wasn’t just keeping up. He was commanding the room. He took most of the first-team reps and looked every bit like the QB1 waiting—until the “waiting” part quietly dropped off. Levis recently informed the Titans that after consulting his doctors, he’s decided to undergo surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season. The Titans confirmed the news in a statement.
“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,” they wrote. “He approached the offseason with professionalism and showed clear growth as a leader. We remain confident in his full recovery.” Taken all together, Cam Ward is now the QB1 for the Titans, leading the charge in his rookie season.
