The Tennessee Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday after the team suffered a second consecutive losing season. Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk decided against trading Vrabel prior to making the decision to dismiss him.

When asked about whether she considered a trade, Strunk explained that she did, however, this move could have taken longer to implement, thereby resulting in the Titans losing time as they look to hire a replacement that meets their requirements.

“So, yes, we thought about it but at the end of the day with league rules the way they are it would have maybe put us back three weeks and you know, to get the right head coach I was just not willing to go to the back of the line and take a chance of missing out on someone we really wanted,” Strunk explained.

During his first four seasons with the Titans, Vrabel produced strong performances, ensuring a winning season each time while also clinching the AFC South in 2020 and 2021. 2023 was the first season when Vrabel’s Titans finished bottom of the division, ending the season with a 6-11 record.

The Tennessee Titans’ starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill will not play in the team’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night as he continues to battle through a right high ankle sprain. Titans coach Mike Vrabel wanted to monitor the starting quarterback’s progress throughout the week before coming to a final decision.

Tannehill was injured during the Titans’ Week 6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. As a result, he wore a cast on his injured foot for a few days before switching over to a walking boot.

Rookie Will Levis will fill in for Tannehill at quarterback on Thursday. In his NFL debut in the 28-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons last week, Levis completed 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 238 yards and four touchdowns.

The Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis is expected to represent his team in their upcoming clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. This comes after the 24-year-old player threw four touchdown passes during his NFL debut during Sunday’s 28-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Levis stepped in for regular starter Ryan Tannehill, who suffered a right high ankle sprain in the Titans’ 16-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in London back in Week 6. Still in recovery, Tannehill’s setback is reminiscent of his injury last season, when he missed two games as a result.

Completing 19 of his 29 pass attempts for 238 yards and four touchdowns, Levis has had an almost immediate impact on the Titans in Tannehill’s absence. Levis is the third NFL player in history to make four passing touchdowns in his first career game.

League sources revealed that the Tennessee Titans informed Derrick Henry that they do not plan to trade him before the upcoming deadline. This comes after the team received inquiries about the Pro Bowl running back from numerous teams.

While Henry is believed to be a highly valuable player to the Titans, it would not make much sense for the team to seek a trade for him given that his contract expires at the end of the season. Furthermore, the would-be free agent is set to earn $6.4 million over the rest of the season; a steep financial requirement for teams to meet.

On the off chance that a trade deal is pursued, an agreement would have to be in place before the end of Monday as the other team involved would most likely look to launch a counteroffer to save on their salary cap.

Tennessee Titans are forced to make a change on kicker position just days before their first games of the 2019 NFL season. After placing starter Ryan Succop on injured reserve on Wednesday, Titans signed veteran Cairo Santos in a corresponding move.

Succop underwent knee surgery during the offseason but was taken out of physically unable to perform list in mid-August.  It seemed like the 32-year-old was ready to go after making two preseason appearances, but things took a bad turn in recent days. Succop felt like he isn’t 100 percent, so the Titans didn’t want to risk anything and brought Santos as an emergency solution.

Santos spent the better part of 2018 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing seven games with the organization. He converted nine out of 12 field goals while being 100 percent accurate on extra points (17 out of 17). Despite this, Buccs decided to move on from him, releasing him last weekend.

While Santos knows that his stint with Titans could also be short-lasting, he doesn’t intend to let that distract him from his job.

“I am only here to make every single kick and will worry about one game at a time to help the team win,” – said Santos. “If it is for eight games, until (Ryan) comes back, or throughout the season, I’ll just worry about one game at a time. My goal is to make all my kicks for as long as I am here.”

Titans’ will open the season in Cleveland, where they will face the Browns on Sunday.
