Who Should I Start? Will Levis or Jalen Milroe

Wednesday, July 23, 5:05 PM

The Tennessee Titans placed quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending his season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It was announced on Monday that Levis would undergo season-ending surgery on his throwing shoulder on July 29. The 26-year-old has decided to have the surgery to ensure his long-term health based on medical opinions, and he should be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. The problem for Levis is that he didn't look good when given the starting job in 2024, and then the Titans selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick this April. If Ward handles himself well and stays healthy in his first NFL season, Levis will be returning in 2026 and strictly a backup without a chance to regain a starting gig. The surgery also confirms what we already knew: That Ward is the team's starter in 2025.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jalen Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback, which means he can only enter the game if both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock get hurt. Milroe's absence is a bit surprising given that Seattle has several plays designed specifically for him, and we've seen him register snaps in three of five games so far this season. With that said, he did lose a fumble on his lone rushing attempt against the Buccaneers last weekend. Dynasty managers should continue to stash Milroe for his long-term upside, but he's droppable in all redraft leagues as it appears he has fallen to third on the depth chart for now.
