NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis has elected to undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, the team announced Monday.
Levis, who first suffered the AC joint injury while diving for a first down against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 30, will have the surgery performed on July 29. He will not be with the team when they report to St. Thomas Sports Park for training camp on Tuesday.
No. 1 pick Cameron Ward will take all of the first team reps for the Titans in training camp and likely be backed up by Brandon Allen, a veteran free agent addition who spent three seasons with Titans coach Brian Callahan when the two were with the Cincinnati Bengals.
After suffering the injury last season, Levis returned after the bye week to start against the Indianapolis Colts but was ineffective and missed the next three games. He finished the season with a disappointing 2-10 record as a starter, throwing for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
After initially opting not to have surgery, Levis checked into OTAs ready to compete with Ward for the starting job and didn't appear to have any issues with the shoulder during OTAs and minicamp.
Levis spent the offseason training with personal quarterback coach Jordan Palmer. The shoulder injury had seemed to be something of the past and Levis said he felt good after "relearning his stroke" while focusing on improving footwork with Palmer in California.
Callahan had Levis and Ward take alternate reps with the first team during OTAs. The rotation during minicamp saw Ward starting off and giving way to Levis for a few reps before returning to the huddle. Allen and Tim Boyle took over after Ward and Levis.
