Titans QB Dobbs excited to start with AFC South on the line

Associated Press  

Joshua Dobbs has been a part of an NFL playoff team in his six-year career. Dobbs doesn’t see Saturday night’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars as a validation of a journey that has taken him from Pittsburgh to Jacksonville in 2019 and back to Pittsburgh for 2020 and 2021 and stints with Cleveland, a brief stop in Detroit and now back in Tennessee as validation of his career. “I’m excited for this one this weekend.” The Titans chose to start Dobbs over rookie Malik Willis, who is 1-2 as a starter and ran for his lone touchdown this season in his most recent start. Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Dobbs quickly adjusted despite playing with teammates whose first names he didn’t know in last week’s 27-13 loss to Dallas. He has played in big games.” One big advantage Dobbs will have in trying to snap the Titans’ six-game skid, the franchise’s longest since 2015, is having two-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry back.
