“I had no doubt that this was the right thing for him,” Callahan said. “Particularly given the bye and the style of play, I felt it was the right thing to do at the moment rather than risk further injury or further blows to his shoulder.”

What’s notable is both that the Titans’ offense didn’t turn the ball over when Rudolph played in Miami and that the Titans’ passing game lacked explosiveness. But Callahan wants to find out about his second-year QB.

“We’re going to find out everything we can about Will,” Callahan said. “He’s going to continue to grow and get better and play better. He has to get better for us. And at the end of the day, I believe he will do it.”
