Overview
- Robert Saleh said he “just don’t see him failing,” citing Cam Ward’s daily presence at the facility and how he greets staff by name.
- Saleh reported Ward is rehabbing a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder without surgery and is progressing well with no timetable set.
- Tennessee brought in Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator, and Ward will begin learning his playbook once on-field work is permitted under NFL rules.
- Ward’s rookie season produced 3,169 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions after a four-game run of two TD passes per game late in the year.
- The endorsement sets Year 2 expectations around growth under a QB-focused coach in Daboll, which could accelerate Ward’s development.
