Titans HC Critical of Cam Ward's Preseason Performance
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh hopes quarterback Cam Ward can learn from his first preseason outing.
In Tennessee Titans' preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Cam Ward led the offense on a lengthy 95-yard touchdown drive. However, head coach Robert Saleh was not entirely pleased with Ward's performance, stating that his decision-making appeared hurried during the game. Saleh believes that this is the first time live bullets have been fired, giving Ward an opportunity to correct his mechanics, which are expected to improve with preseason practice.
The Titans anticipate a significant leap from Ward in 2026 following a disappointing 3-14 season last year, where he threw for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The new coaching staff, led by offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, is expected to aid in Ward's development. Ward acknowledged the need for improvement in the pass game and his ability to provide better opportunities for his receivers.
A first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ward played college football at Incarnate Word, Washington State, and Miami, where he had a strong 2024 season with 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. The Titans will face the Seattle Seahawks in their second preseason game next Sunday.
