Ryan Tannehill plays for the Tennessee Titans as their starting quarterback. Tannehill is playing his tenth season in the NFL and his fourth with the Titans. He has been outstanding the whole season, but injuries have impacted his numbers this season.

After last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Ryan Tannehill has again landed on the Titans' injury list.

Tannehill is listed as questionable after suffering a second injury to his right ankle on Tennessee's first drive of their Week 15 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers, which ended with a final score of 17–14. Khalil Mack tackled him and rolled up his ankle.

Tannehill's most recent ankle injury, according to Paul Kuharsky, would "very likely end his season" and may call for surgery to be fixed. The Titans have lost their starting quarterback just when they need him the most.

Tannehill has started 12 games this season and has thrown for 2536 yards with 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions. He has a record of 6-6 and a pass completion percentage of 65.2. He missed the two games in Weeks 7 and 8 after injuring his ankle during the game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Titans are currently leading the AFC South with a 7-7 record but have three games before the regular season ends. The Jacksonville Jaguars are right behind them, with only one win required to even the record.

The Titans will face the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16 and 18, respectively. It is important for them to win both these games against their AFC South rivals.

If Tannehill is out, then Titans backup quarterback Malik Willis will take up the starting job. The rookie quarterback started two games out of the seven and led his side to a win against the Houston Texans in the Week 8 matchup.
