Mason Rudolph will replace Will Levis at quarterback for the Tennessee Titans against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, according to reports.
Levis was limited in practice on Wednesday and Friday as he continues to struggle with a shoulder injury, which he claimed led to the late interception he threw in last week’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
According to PaulKuharsky.com, Rudolph is set to start in his absence when they travel to Buffalo to lock horns with the in-form Bills at Highmark Stadium.
Levis did not finish last month’s game against Miami after sustaining his shoulder problem, with Rudolph replacing him on the day and failing to impress by hitting nine of 17 passes for 85 yards.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the 25-year-old is dealing with a Grade 2 AC sprain in his right shoulder and could be on the sidelines for an extended period of time.

His issue is considered a four-to-five injury, meaning Rudolph could well have multiple opportunities to make his case for the starting position.
However, a benching would not have been out of the question had he been fully fit, given his dismal league-high record of 10 turnovers through four games this season.
In total, Levis has recorded turnovers in 12 of his 14 NFL starts.
Trevor Siemian will now serve as backup to Rudolph as he recovers from his shoulder problem over the next couple of months.
The Titans are enduring a miserable season so far, losing four of their five games in the AFC South.
Rudolph has underwhelmed as a starter in his NFL career, despite leading the Steelers to three wins at the end of last season while throwing as many touchdowns and no interceptions.
