Robert Saleh Addresses Cam Ward’s Future as Titans Starting QB
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh firmly says he has not considered benching Cam Ward after the team's Week 3 loss.
The Tennessee Titans suffered a 12-7 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, marking their third consecutive defeat of the season. This continued string of poor performances has led to growing speculation about the long-term future of second-year quarterback Cam Ward, who made his NFL debut in 2025. Despite mounting doubts, Titans head coach Robert Saleh firmly ruled out the possibility of benching Ward.
Ward's performance did provide a glimmer of hope in the fourth quarter, as he orchestrated a drive that reached the Giants' red zone on their final possession. However, his decision to throw an interception with just under 30 seconds remaining ultimately sealed the game. With a career record of 3-16 as an NFL starting quarterback, Ward's future at the position remains uncertain.
Some reporters probed Saleh on whether the Titans might consider alternative options. Saleh's resolute answer was a clear "no." While the coaching staff can afford to be patient with Ward's adaptation to the new offensive scheme, there's a limit to how long they can bear witnessing the team's offensive struggles. The Titans face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, aiming to turn their fortunes around.
