Titans rookie QB Malik Willis takes reins against Texans

Will he play, or won't he?

That was the question all week surrounding Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whose availability going into Sunday's meeting with the host Houston Texans was up in the air.

He won't.

Tannehill was ruled out Saturday after missing a walkthrough with an illness. He also has a sprained right ankle that occurred in the fourth quarter of last week's 19-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
