TitansMitchell Trubisky Exits Practice as Right Biceps Is Evaluated

The check on his throwing arm could force Tennessee to turn to Will Levis for expanded backup duty and change preseason reps.

Overview

  • Mitchell Trubisky left Titans practice after grabbing his right arm and is being evaluated for a biceps injury following a throw on Monday.
  • Coach Robert Saleh said he was cautiously optimistic about Trubisky’s condition but declined to give a definitive diagnosis and said reporters would be updated after further tests.
  • Trubisky had been working as the team’s No. 2 quarterback after signing with Tennessee in March and saw limited action in the preseason opener, signaling he had earned the backup role over Will Levis.
  • If Trubisky is sidelined for any length of time, third-string quarterback Will Levis would be expected to assume more snaps in practice and expanded game-day backup responsibilities behind starter Cam Ward.
  • Trubisky is a 31-year-old veteran and the No. 2 overall pick in 2017 with 57 career starts, and his availability matters because he brings experience and familiarity with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s system.
