Ex-Steelers Quarterback Mason Rudolph Named Titans Starter

The Tennessee Titans plan to start Mason Rudolph as their quarterback over Will Levis due to Levis's underwhelming performance this season. Levis, a 2023 second-round pick, has struggled with a 63.7% completion rate, 12 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The Titans, currently 3-11, hope Rudolph can provide a needed spark in their final games. Rudolph, who signed a one-year contract with the Titans, previously played for the Steelers and had a brief successful stint last season. This opportunity with the Titans could determine their future direction at the quarterback position.
