Titans Waive Will Levis After Final Roster Cuts

The decision hands the starting job to 2025 No. 1 pick Cam Ward, leaving Levis on the waiver wire for other teams to consider.

Overview

  • The Tennessee Titans waived quarterback Will Levis on Aug. 30, 2026 as part of the NFL's 53-man roster deadline, ending his three-season run in Nashville.
  • Tennessee will carry Cam Ward as the entrenched starter and Mitchell Trubisky as the primary backup on the active roster.
  • The club explored trading Levis before the cut but failed to find a partner, so he was placed on waivers and is eligible for claims on Aug. 31.
  • Levis started 21 games for the Titans in 2023–24, throwing 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, and missed all of 2025 after right-shoulder surgery.
  • The release shifts Levis into a market for backup or developmental quarterbacks and reflects broader roster and coaching changes in Tennessee that altered his path to the starting job.
