    Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis injured his shoulder in the first quarter of their 31-12 Monday night win over the Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately, he also threw another interception before exiting the game.

    Ironically, for the second week in a row, a Hall of Fame quarterback has again come to his defense for an interception and broke down the play.

    Warner does a great job breaking down the read and the pass. He also explains what is transpiring at every level of the defense. As he points out, he is not defending Levis overall; he is just detailing this snapshot in time. Warner also states the simple fact that young quarterbacks are facing more athletic defenses, and it takes time to develop.

    It’s true that Mason Rudolph looked calm in the pocket and didn’t force the ball after taking over. But, Rudolph is an experienced veteran and has enough snaps under his belt to recognize certain coverages. The jury is still out on whether Levis will develop or not, but he has to play to gain that experience.

    Head coach Brian Callahan has stated that Levis will return to the lineup when healthy, but after watching Rudolph against the Dolphins, they will likely not rush Levis back until he is close to 100 percent.

    Will he return against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6? Everyone will have to wait until after the bye week to find out.
