The Tennessee Titans have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph to a one-year deal worth up to $3.62 million.

The Tennessee Titans opened OTA practices to the media on Tuesday, with Ryan Tannehill taking the majority of the first-team reps and looking sharp. Rookie Will Levis worked alongside Tannehill in a number of team drills and looked excellent throwing deep but struggled with consistent touch on intermediate and underneath throws. Second-year QB Malik Willis was crisp throwing against air but was a step or two late on some throws. Notable absences on defense included Kevin Byard and Kristian Fulton. Third-year defensive back Elijah Molden earned extra reps with Byard absent and worked on expanding his versatility by playing safety. Free agent signee Andre Dillard worked as first-team left tackle with first-round pick Peter Skoronski lining up alongside him at left guard.

Despite falling out of favor, Willis is an affordable backup option for the team. The Titans currently only have Tannehill and Willis on their roster, so it's likely they will select a quarterback in the draft.
