Titans QB Mitchell Trubisky leaves practice early as Saleh says biceps injury is being evaluated

Tennessee Titans backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky left practice early on Monday after reporters said he grabbed his right arm following a completed pass. Head coach Robert Saleh said after the workout that Trubisky is being evaluated for a biceps injury, a development that adds uncertainty to the quarterback depth chart during camp.

According to coverage from Yahoo Sports, Trubisky’s exit came before practice wrapped up, and the immediate moment drew attention from those observing the session. Reporters at the workout described Trubisky grabbing his right arm after throwing a pass, the kind of detail that often matters when determining whether an issue is minor soreness or something that requires more time.

The Titans’ public response, delivered by Saleh in his post-practice remarks, focused on evaluation rather than a timetable. Saleh’s comments indicate the organization is taking the possibility seriously, though the team did not provide additional specifics in the account of the session.

For the Titans, the timing is notable because backup quarterback availability can shape how coaches manage reps across the roster. In preseason and other phases of training camp, depth at quarterback matters for continuity in practice groupings, especially for installs, situational work, and third-unit game-scenario reps.

Trubisky, as the backup, also carries a role beyond simply holding clipboard duties. Backup quarterbacks often work closely with starting units and offensive coaches during live periods, then become central during any “next man up” scenario that can emerge from knocks, limited participation, or rest days across the position group.

At the same time, Monday’s information does not establish the severity of the issue. A biceps injury could range from a temporary strain to something that requires a longer recovery period, and the Titans have not reported anything beyond the fact that evaluation is underway.

What to watch next is whether Trubisky is limited in subsequent practices, whether the Titans issue additional medical updates, and how the team responds operationally if he cannot take normal reps. If Tennessee adjusts the plan, it could reveal how much emphasis the staff is placing on continuity at the quarterback position during the current stretch of camp.

From a broader NFL perspective, even early practice exits can have ripple effects on preparation. Teams typically rely on consistent quarterback reps to refine timing, protect play-calling rhythm, and run through variations the offense expects to use in the preseason and beyond. The Titans’ next update, and Trubisky’s participation status afterward, will determine how quickly they can stabilize that work.
