Titans Coach Saleh Refuses to Bench Cam Ward Despite Poor Start

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. Backup Mitchell Trubisky remains on the depth chart, but the team is giving Ward more time to adapt to offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s system.
