According to a source, the TennesseeTitans are going to start Joshua Dobbs at quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys.
Dobbs, who was signed off the Detroit Lions practice squad eight days ago, is getting the start over a player who has struggled this season. This will be the first time that he starts.
The draft network reported the news.
Sources have told Adam Schefter that Ryan Tannehill is out for the rest of the season after having surgery on his ankle.
In his three starts in place of Tannehill, the third-round pick has failed to pass for 100 yards or a touchdown. He has completed less than 50% of his passes in his first two starts, but the TITANS are still 1-2. He has scored a touchdown.
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons won't be playing in the game against the Cowboys. Henry is questionable for the game.
The team has lost five games in a row. Regardless of Thursday's outcome, theTitans find themselves in a win-and-in situation next week against theJaguars, even if they lose to Dallas.
He has appeared in six regular-season games in his career, all with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who drafted him in the fourth round of the last year. In those games, he has completed 10 of 17 pass attempts.
Ed Werder and Turron Davenport worked on the report.
