Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill underwent ankle surgery this week, leaving him as a “long shot” to play again this season, league sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Tannehill is rehabbing in an effort to do whatever he can to try make it back over the next few weeks, and the Titans have not given up hope that someone as tough as the former Pro Bowler could make it back this season.<\/p>\n

But a return this season undoubtedly would be a challenging task, and the Titans (7-7) now must rely on rookie quarterback Malik Willis to lead them to an AFC South title and a postseason spot.<\/p>\n

Tannehill was carted off with his ankle injury Sunday when Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack landed on his right foot during Tennessee’s opening offensive series. Tannehill missed only one series before returning to the game with the ankle heavily taped, playing through an injury that days later would necessitate surgery.<\/p>\n
