Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill left Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens early in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be an ankle injury.

Tannehill limped to the sidelines and was carted off the field as the Titans trailed 21–13. The quarterback will undergo X-Rays to be further diagnosed.

This prompted Tennessee to put second-year quarterback Malik Willis in for the rest of the game. Sunday marked Willis's second appearance this season, but he clocked no stats in the other game, which was vs. the Browns in Week 3.

Before exiting Sunday’s game in London, Tannehill completed 8-of-16 pass attempts for 76 yards and one interception. 

Last season, Willis played in eight games, finishing with 31-of-61 passes for a 50.8% completion percentage, with 276 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.
