Updates from Week 4
Preseason Updates: Quarterbacks
The rookie quarterback, Cam Ward, had a mixed showing against the Vikings. While his stat line was limited, going 3 for 4 for 36 yards, he put together a spectacular touchdown drive that the Titans really needed before coming off the field. This 13-play, 90-yard march showcased his patience and decision-making, earning praise from head coach Brian Callahan, who noted at halftime he loved to see Ward's poise as he worked through his plays. The drive, which culminated in a touchdown run by a different player, was a positive note to end the preseason on for the rookie. Ward also seemed to have smoothed things over with star defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons after a reported fight in practice, as the two were seen having a good time together on the sideline. They appear to both be fierce competitors who not only respect one another but also want to bring out the best in each other, even if that requires some heated discussion. Brandon Allen solidified his role as the QB2, with no questions asked. He's proven to be a reliable and effective backup.
Preseason Updates: Running Backs
The Titans opted to rest their top two running backs, Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, in this game. This provided a great opportunity for other players to make their case for a roster spot. Jermar Jefferson made his case to be the RB2 on the team (if Spears misses time) with a few excellent plays in the second half. His performance demonstrated a burst and vision that the Titans' offense will need from their depth players. He demonstrated that he can be a valuable contributor and a potential solution to the team's concerns about running back depth.
