Daboll Pushes Titans to Improve Downfield Passing Amid Ward's Preseason Struggles

Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll says the team’s downfield passing must improve, highlighted by Cam Ward’s uneven preseason (8-for-12, 69 yards) and a meager 1.2 average depth of target. Ward has faced accuracy issues while working with a revamped offense, and rookie Carnell Tate has been targeted but not yet produced. Daboll has focused on fundamentals and high-leverage situations (red zone/3rd down) as Ward develops, suggesting Ward may struggle to support multiple fantasy-reliable receivers in 2026.

Week 1 Preseason Sparks: Ward Under Pressure, Stribling Emerges, Mendoza Won’t Be Quick to Start

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.

Allar shines for Steelers; Ward struggles for Titans in Week 1 preseason

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. On the flip side, Falcons faced off-field suspensions and a blowout loss, Patriots kicker Andy Borregales misfired multiple times in a 13-13 tie, Lions’ Isaac TeSlaa went without a catch, Colts’ Riley Leonard struggled against Patriots backups, and Chargers’ Trey Lance was outplayed by DJ Uiagalelei. As always in the preseason, results are initial and players have time to adjust.

He did guide an 11-play, 95-yard opening drive that ended with Tony Pollard’s 5-yard TD run, but the Titans stalled on his final two drives (10 plays for 26 yards) before Mitchell Trubisky replaced him with 3:55 remaining before halftime. The Titans are hoping Ward makes a big jump in his second season.
