Titans release former Kentucky quarterback Will Levis after three NFL seasons

Tennessee cut Levis as part of final roster reductions on Sunday, leaving the former University of Kentucky starter to look for a new team.

Tennessee Titans released former University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis on Sunday, ending his three-season run with the franchise and leaving him to pursue opportunities elsewhere as the NFL finalizes its roster for the regular season. WLKY reported the move as part of the Titans’ final roster cuts.

According to the report, the Titans’ decision came during the late-summer roster reduction process, when teams trim positions and finalize the group they will carry into the next phase of the league calendar. Levis, who had spent three seasons in Tennessee, was waived as the Titans made their last set of adjustments.

The split is notable for Kentucky football followers because Levis’ development from his college career into an NFL starter carried extensive attention beyond Lexington. The transition from UK to the Titans created a connection that has remained visible for years, including during offseason activities and preseason games where fans in Kentucky have continued to track his progress.

For the Titans, the release reflects a recurring NFL reality: even established players can be moved quickly when teams evaluate depth charts, game readiness, and roster balance. The report framed the action as a roster matter tied to the team’s required cuts, rather than describing a separate legal dispute or off-field incident.

Levis’ next steps will follow standard league processes. When a player is waived, other teams have an opportunity to claim him, and if he clears waivers he may sign with a new club under the NFL’s offseason and roster rules. The timeline for those decisions typically follows the same league-wide waiver procedures that accompany each roster deadline.

The news carries practical effects for Levis and for the broader group of supporters who have followed his path from college to the professional ranks. It also underscores the financial and personnel pressures NFL teams face during roster cutdowns, when coaching staffs must reduce spending and reserve spots while staying competitive.

WLKY’s report did not provide further details about the Titans’ internal reasoning beyond the roster cut context, and it did not list whether Levis will be immediately picked up by another franchise. Fans in Kentucky will likely receive the next confirmed development through subsequent team announcements or official league transaction updates.

Why It Matters

  • The roster cutdown timing means Levis’ availability may change quickly based on waiver and signing decisions by other teams.
  • A Kentucky-linked player being released can shift attention for UK alumni and fans who track NFL careers from the state.
  • Roster reductions highlight how NFL personnel decisions are tied to league deadlines and team roster management.
  • If Levis is claimed or signs elsewhere, it will determine where his continuing playing opportunities unfold next.
