Overview
- Head coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that Ward’s right shoulder is “perfectly healthy” and that the quarterback has been throwing with good velocity during OTAs.
- Ward told reporters he trimmed about 10 pounds in the offseason through more cardio and diet changes to improve speed and durability.
- Reporters at mid‑May OTAs saw Ward play live periods without a visible brace and complete multiple touchdown throws, with one account noting he was 11-for-17 with two TDs in team drills.
- The Titans have added targets around Ward, signing Wan’Dale Robinson and drafting Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall, while Brian Daboll’s quicker, simpler play calls are being credited with helping Ward find timing with those receivers.
- Despite encouraging practice reports, key questions remain about regular-season translation, specifically offensive line protection, game durability, and whether OTAs progress holds up in games.
