The Tennessee Titans’ practice session turned chaotic on a scorching 96-degree afternoon when rookie quarterback Cam Ward and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons got into a shoving match.

The No. 1 pick in the draft made the most of his first training camp. Plus, notes on Nick Sirianni, Joe Flacco, Michael Penix Jr., Pete Carroll and more.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward may face a difficult adjustment as he learns how to attack opposing defenses.

On a more serious note, Ward is looking to better his footwork as the Titans prepare for Friday’s preseason finale against Minnesota at Nissan Stadium. The number one overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft is 7-for-15 (46.7 percent) in two preseason contests, with zero touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 71.3 percent NFL quarterback rating.

It was the closest Cam Ward has been to crunch time in an actual NFL game in enemy territory. Fresh off a bench-clearing brawl, Ward was in a two-minute drill in shotgun against the Bucs aggressive first-team defense.

Cam Ward's stat line might not show it, but he showcased his potential and impressed some NFL fans in the Tennessee Titans' preseason contest against the Atlanta Falcons.

Impressive and fantastic are a couple of the words used to describe Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward as the No. 1-overall pick in April’s NFL draft takes over as the starter for a franchise that won just three games last season.
