Titans

Titans HC Mike Vrabel said the team being eliminated from postseason contention won’t factor into his decision whether or not to play rookie QB Will Levis.

“I don’t think that necessarily weighs into the decision right now,” Vrabel said, via PFT. “We want to make sure, one, that Will can protect himself, and that he can do his job up to the expectations that we have. Really, the most important thing is that any player can protect themselves out there during the game. It’s Monday right now. He’s sore, obviously, like a lot of guys. And we’ll see how things go.”

• Vrabel when asked about the team waiving DL Teair Tart: “We can touch on some of the personnel decisions at the end of the season. Right now, excited to work with the guys we have now.” (Jim Wyatt)
