Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh firmly rejected the idea of benching quarterback Cam Ward, despite the second-year starter’s poor performance in the first three games of the 2026 season. Ward has completed 62.5% of his passes for 504 yards and two touchdowns, ranking 20th in accuracy and 29th in expected points added. While his sack rate has improved to 5.38%, the Titans’ offense remains stagnant, ranking 30th in points per game. Saleh attributed the struggles to dropped passes and defensive issues rather than Ward’s mechanics, though he noted the quarterback’s footwork deteriorates late in games.

Week 1 of NFL preseason offered a mix of measured takeaways: Cam Ward’s early struggles for the Titans aren’t a panic signal, De’Zhaun Stribling flashed breakout potential for the 49ers, Fernando Mendoza’s strong debut won’t instantly crown him Week 1 starter, Drew Allar impressed for the Steelers but remains far from a guaranteed QB1, and DJ Moore’s Bills debut hints at a much-needed upgrade to Buffalo’s passing game; QB battles in Atlanta and Cleveland still look unsettled, and much of this is preseason noise rather than guarantees for the regular season.
Week 1 of the NFL preseason delivered a mix of bright debuts and rough outings. Steelers rookie Drew Allar stood out with 153 passing yards and three total touchdowns, while Titans QB Cam Ward had a mixed showing (5-of-12, 57 yards). Notable winners included Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton, Raiders hopeful Fernando Mendoza, and 49ers rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, along with Bengals hopeful Dohnte Meyers.

Cam Ward’s first Titans preseason drive went 95 yards and ended with a Tony Pollard TD, but he finished 5-for-12 for 57 yards; Jets coach Robert Saleh said Ward looked a bit sped up in live action, though his decisions and protection were solid, and Tennessee will work on the pass game as it heads to a second preseason game against Seattle.

The Titans are hoping Ward makes a big jump in his second season.
