Mason Rudolph is set to start for the Titans as quarterback Will Levis continues to recover from a shoulder injury.

Why it matters: With Levis limited in practice and officially questionable for the upcoming game against the Patriots, Rudolph will take the reins as the starting quarterback once again.

  • Rudolph has previously started in the Titans' recent losses to the Bills and Lions.

Yes, but: While Rudolph hasn't been able to secure victories in his previous starts, he will have another opportunity to prove himself and lead the team to a much-needed win.

Running back Tony Pollard, despite not practicing all week due to a foot injury, is expected to play in the upcoming game.

  • This indicates Pollard's determination to contribute to the team's offensive efforts despite dealing with an injury.

Fellow running back Tyjae Spears has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury, which may impact the team's depth at the position.

Wide receiver Tyler Boyd, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, is expected to play, providing the offense with a valuable target.

What to watch: The performance of Mason Rudolph as he leads the offense without the presence of injured quarterback Will Levis.

  • How well Rudolph can command the offense and connect with his receivers will be a key factor in the team's success.

The bottom line: The Titans will rely on Mason Rudolph to step up and deliver as they face the Patriots, while other injured players like Tony Pollard and Tyler Boyd aim to contribute despite their own setbacks.
