12-16HotTopics

NASHVILLE – Titans head coach Brian Callahan talked to reporters on Monday, one day after the team's 37-27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Here's a look at the hot topics from the presser as the team turns its attention to Sunday's game vs the Indianapolis Colts:

-The biggest topic of the day centered on quarterback Will Levis.

Levis was replaced in Sunday's game by veteran Mason Rudolph, but Callahan didn't name the team's starter for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Or moving forward.

"I'm going to use the next two days to go through that process and make sure the decision we make is the best one for our football team," Callahan said. "Not really much to add to it at this point. It's something we can visit with later in the week. So, we'll take the time we have to go through it all and make sure we're doing the right thing."

Levis turned the ball over four times in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, including three interceptions.

In 11 starts this season, Levis has thrown 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, with a passer rating of 79.8.

Asked about Levis and his "long-term" outlook, Callahan said: "Those are all postseason questions, and we're in a week-to-week battle right now. … We have three weeks to play, three divisional games, and that's what our focus is on, how we best attack those three games and finish the season hopefully on a high note.

"Those questions are for after the season when we have a chance to sit down and look at the totality of work, and where we stand."

-Callahan said General Manager Ran Carthon and President of Football Operations Chad Brinker, along with the coaching staff, would also be involved in in-depth conversations about a potential quarterback change.

"It will all be a part of the process as we work through the next two days," Callahan said, "and where we're going to with it all. Nothing gets done around here without all of us having the discussions and be on the same page."

-Callahan singled out running back Tony Pollard, linebacker Kenneth Murray and defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat as players who've fought through being "significantly" banged up to perform at a high level this season.

"That part to me is really impressive," Callahan said. "Those guys have battled."

-Linebacker Luke Gifford will begin the week in the team's concussion protocol, Callahan said.

-Inside linebackers James Williams, Cedric Gray and Murray will be in a rotation at inside backer moving forward with Gifford in protocol.
