Tennessee Titans release Will Levis and Hendon Hooker from roster
Summary

The Tennessee Titans waived quarterbacks Will Levis and Hendon Hooker on Sunday as part of their final roster adjustments. The decision followed the team's commitment to head coach Robert Saleh in his first season leading the organization. Will Levis, a 2023 NFL Draft selection, departs Nashville after serving as a primary signal-caller for the franchise. The move also impacts Hendon Hooker, who performed during the preseason before being released. Tennessee now faces the regular season with a thin quarterback room, though the team may attempt to sign Hooker to the practice squad should he clear waivers. These cuts signal a transition in the Titans' quarterback strategy as the young roster continues to develop under new leadership.
