Bill Belichick signed a lucrative contract extension with the New England Patriots this offseason, but questions remain about his future with the team amid a 2-7 start to the season.

A Boston Globe report states that it isn't a given Belichick finishes out the season, adding that Robert Kraft has already discussed the possibility of firing the head coach.

The report adds that the Patriots view the Tennessee Titans' Mike Vrabel as a "home run" choice to replace Bill Belichick.

They also see Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio as another "home run" target to return to the front office.

Will Levis will be the full-time starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans for the rest of the season, Mike Vrabel announced on Tuesday.

"Going forward Will is going to be our quarterback," Vrabel said. "We're going to go with Will, we think that's the best opportunity for our football team right now, and see where he's at."

Levis started the past two games for the Titans while Ryan Tannehill recovered from a high ankle sprain he suffered against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6.

The rookie has completed 60.3% of his passes, throwing for 500 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in his two starts. 

Treylon Burks was stabilized on a stretcher and carted off the field late in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers with an injury.

He was able to give a thumbs up as he was taken away.

After the game, Mike Vrabel said Burks was alert, moving in the locker room and had full use of his extremities. Vrabel said Burks was being evaluated in a training room.

Burks was seen walking out of the locker room on his own power, stopping to talk to a coach before heading towards the team bus.

The injury occurred when Burks tried to make a deep catch along the sideline on a fourth down, but saw the ball slip from his grasp. He landed hard out of bounds and appeared to be unconscious.

Joey Porter, Jr. told reporters after the Pittsburgh Steelers' 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night that he requested to shadow DeAndre Hopkins.

"On Tuesday, I went to Coach T (Tomlin) and told him, 'I want 10,'" the rookie cornerback said.

"That's what I was looking for. I don't really hide from nothing, so I was like, 'That's the matchup I want, that's the matchup I need.' (Coach) didn't really say yes on Tuesday. He was like, 'We going to think about it' because they was like, 'That's kind of crazy.' But throughout the week, they was like, 'Alright, we going to let you get 10 on some reps in,' and then throughout the game, it was like 'you just go where 10 is at.' "

Porter lined up on Hopkins on 72.2 percent of the wideout's routes (26 of 36), per Next Gen Stats, and allowed one reception for 17 yards on five targets. Hopkins finished with four catches for 60 yards.
