Titans Waive Will Levis on Roster Cutdown Day

The decision completes Tennessee’s quarterback overhaul by entrenching Cam Ward as the franchise starter.

Overview

  • The Titans waived quarterback Will Levis on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, as the club trimmed its roster to the NFL’s 53-player limit.
  • Tennessee has installed Cam Ward as the starter and Mitchell Trubisky as the primary backup after evaluating the position through training camp and preseason play.
  • Levis was the 33rd overall pick in 2023 who started 21 games for the Titans but struggled with turnovers, sacks and fumbles and missed all of 2025 after right-shoulder surgery.
  • The team sought a trade for Levis before final cuts but found no taker, and Levis publicly thanked Titans fans after the preseason finale while declining to predict his next step.
  • Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Levis could draw interest from teams that want experienced depth or a developmental quarterback with high arm talent.
