Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:08:03 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans know that veteran Ryan Tannehill is their starting quarterback this season. His backup? That’s a decision the Titans aren’t ready to make yet with the preseason over and the season opener Sept. 10 in New Orleans coming up fast. Asked Saturday if he had seen enough to choose either rookie Will Levis or Malik Willis as Tannehill’s backup for the opener, coach Mike Vrabel said, “I don’t think so.” The Titans traded up to No. 33 overall to draft Levis out of Kentucky in April. He missed the final two preseason games with an injured left thigh. Levis practiced Wednesday, warmed up before Friday night’s 23-7 preseason finale win over New England and watched from the sideline as the Titans finished 2-1.Willis also is a quarterback Tennessee traded up to draft at No. 86 overall in 2022 out of Liberty. Willis wound up playing essentially the past two exhibition games with Tannehill starting against New England and han...

LONDON (AP) — U.S international Josh Sargent injured an ankle while scoring in Norwich’s 4-0 victory over Huddersfield in England’s second-tier Championship on Saturday. Sargent was tackled by goalkeeper Lee Nicholls when heading the ball into an open net to give Norwich the lead in the 11th minute, after blocking the keeper’s attempted clearance. Nicholls then appeared to land on Sargent’s ankle and the striker remained on the ground before being substituted. “It looks like a serious ankle injury, unfortunately,” Norwich coach David Wagner said. “We will assess him tomorrow, and then we will have to wait and see how serious it actually is.”Sargent has scored in Norwich’s last three league games, with the team sitting in second place after four matches. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSource
