Rookie quarterback Malik Willis will not, in fact, be the Tennessee Titans’ starting QB tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. Titans' QB1 Ryan Tannehill suffered a devastating ankle injury in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the season.The Titans will instead start Josh Dobbs on Thursday night.Willis, who started last week for the Titans in their 14-19 loss to the Houston Texans, has been benched this week. The Titans are currently 7-8 and can still qualify for the playoffs.The Tennessee Titans are currently on a five-game losing streak and Ryan Tannehill being out for the rest of the season has seriously damaged their playoff aspirations.Tom Pelissero@TomPelisseroThe #Titans are expected to start Josh Dobbs at QB tonight, as @JustinM_NFL said. A onetime University of Tennessee standout, Dobbs signed off the #Lions practice squad last week and now will be making his first NFL start.32481The #Titans are expected to start Josh Dobbs at QB tonight, as @JustinM_NFL said. A onetime University of Tennessee standout, Dobbs signed off the #Lions practice squad last week and now will be making his first NFL start.Malik Willis has started two games in Tannehill's absence but hasn't quite inspired confidence. The lack of weapons around him has been a major reason for his sub-par game.Derrick Henry is also likely to be ruled out against the Dallas Cowboys. Dobbs, then, will have that much more work to do on offense to overcome a dangerous Cowboys defense.Tannehill's absence will be massively felt by the Titans, who are likely to miss out on the playoffs this season. In their place, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on their way to winning the AFC South.Tannehill had a passer rating of 94.6 for 2,536 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions in 12 games this season. In comparison, Willis has thrown for just 276 yards and 3 interceptions.🏈TitansFanatic🏈@titanfan8IF Ryan Tannehill has played his last snap as a Titan i would like to thank him for the last four years.Ryan won 65% of games started with 36-19 record inc. 15 fourth qtr comebacks,13 game winning drives.Completed 1085 of 1683, 67%, 12,831 yds ,89 TDs with a 100.5 pass rating1126125IF Ryan Tannehill has played his last snap as a Titan i would like to thank him for the last four years.Ryan won 65% of games started with 36-19 record inc. 15 fourth qtr comebacks,13 game winning drives.Completed 1085 of 1683, 67%, 12,831 yds ,89 TDs with a 100.5 pass rating https://t.co/59l4XBfvoLTennessee Titans’ starting QB might be different next seasonMalik Willis: Tennessee Titans’ starting QBAlthough one of Dobbs or Willis will be the Titans’ starting QB for the rest of the season, it won't be a surprise if the franchise decides to bring in a new quarterback next season.They are likely to part ways with Ryan Tannehill and Willis isn't deemed ready yet to be the franchise quarterback. The franchise could still look to keep Dobbs on, but only as a backup.They could bring in a new quarterback via trade, draft, or free agency as their QB room isn't looking too good at the moment.Buck Reising@BuckReisingI think there's a real chance Josh Dobbs starts for the #Titans tonight twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…265I think there's a real chance Josh Dobbs starts for the #Titans tonight twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…The Titans are heavily reliant on the greatness of Derrick Henry and that isn't quite a winning formula in the postseason. They traded away A.J. Brown, which has turned out to be a massive blunder.Any quarterback that will play for the Titans next season will need more weapons around him. It will be fascinating to see what the front office will do in the offseason.
