Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) is believed to have suffered a Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during the team's Week 18 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Ward exited the game in the first quarter after being landed on by a Jacksonville defender. While Tennessee's 2025 season has come to a close, Ward may now face a lengthy rehab process throughout the offseason. Across 17 games as a rookie, the 23-year-old completed 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Ward also rushed for 159 yards and two scores. The Titans will pair Ward with a new head coach in 2026 after firing former head coach Brian Callahan in mid-October. Ward still carries significant upside for the future, but it appears he will have to overcome a substantial shoulder injury as he heads into his second season.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) was seen wearing a sling on his right arm during the second half of Sunday's Week 18 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ward exited in the first quarter following a physical touchdown rush, and he was eventually ruled out. The No. 1 overall pick had played every offensive snap through the Titans' first 16 games, so it was unfortunate to see him depart in the final contest of the year. Brandon Allen took over in his absence. Ward finishes his rookie season having completed 59.8% of his passes for 3,169 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also had 159 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, 55 sacks, and seven lost fumbles. The Titans will now embark on a pivotal offseason centered around their search for a new head coach following the midseason firing of Brian Callahan.

The Tennessee Titans have ruled out rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) from returning to Sunday's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie took a big collision on a touchdown run in the first quarter, departed the game, and the club took no chances with their franchise quarterback's throwing shoulder thereafter. As a rookie, Ward wasn't much of an option in standard redraft leagues, but he turned the corner during the final month of the season, which gave managers in dynasty formats some hope going into the offseason. After throwing just seven touchdowns in the first 12 games, Ward had eight touchdowns, one pick, and a rushing touchdown in the final five weeks. With Ward out, Brandon Allen should close out the day for Tennessee.

The Tennessee Titans designated starting rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) as questionable to return to Sunday's game at Jacksonville with an injury to his throwing shoulder. The rookie scored a rushing touchdown that gave the Titans an early lead, during which he broke the plane through heavy contact. Ward was forced out of the game, missing his first snaps of the season. If Ward were to be unavailable for the remainder of the game, backup Brandon Allen will handle quarterback duties. It's been a decent rookie season for Ward, who surpassed 3,000 yards passing with 15 touchdowns and 7 interceptions after being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, the first overall pick back in April, has completed 59.6% of his passes for 3,117 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in his first year in the NFL. He's added 148 rushing yards and a score while also fumbling a league-high 11 times (losing seven). Ward's 79.8 passer rating ranks 26th out of 27 qualifying QBs. He's been sacked 55 times, tied for the most in the NFL. The 23-year-old came into the NFL with a sharp learning curve after spending most of his college career in an Air Raid system. Ward has made some wow plays with his strong arm, but "there are some around the NFL who are concerned his accuracy will have a ceiling if he doesn't refine his mechanics," according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe. Ward's scrambling ability can help him compensate for some of it, but in the long term, he could be inconsistent if he doesn't clean up his mechanics.
Dec 30, 2025 4:12 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward has shown flashes of why he was the No. 1 overall pick back in April, but mostly, it's been a struggle for the 23-year-old and the Titans' offense in 2025. However, in the Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, Ward had one of his best all-around showings of the year, going 21-for-40 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions against a decent Saints defense. He added two carries for 10 yards on the ground. Ward fumbled twice, losing one of them. Don't look now, but Ward has now thrown two touchdown passes in four straight games with only one interception. It could signal that he's taking the next step as an NFL passer as he heads into a difficult Week 18 matchup against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, who are looking to lock up the AFC South title. In the first meeting with the Jags on Nov. 30, Ward threw for 141 yards with no touchdowns or picks.
Dec 29, 2025 6:37 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward is finally showing signs of solid progression over the last few weeks. The rookie signal-caller has thrown for multiple touchdowns in three straight games. The passing yardage has still been a problem, with less than 200 passing yards in three of his last four games. Ward is working with a skeleton crew of a supporting cast, so he does deserve the benefit of the doubt. The 23-year-old will head into a decent matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. Ward's six touchdowns over his last three games should bring some eyes to him ahead of this game. There's probably not enough upside here to trust Ward as anything more than a QB2 in SuperFlex leagues.
Dec 27, 2025 9:09 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward completed 21 of 28 passes for two touchdowns to go with four carries for nine yards as a runner in Sunday's 26-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Ward has now thrown two touchdowns in three consecutive games and has accounted for two total touchdowns in four of the past five outings. The No. 1 overall pick had zero such games over the first 10 weeks of the season. Sunday's performance was also his highest completion percentage (75%), yards per attempt (8.1), and passer rating (122.3) in a game this season. He'll draw a tougher matchup next week against the New Orleans Saints and will profile as a QB2 in superflex leagues.
Dec 21, 2025 7:44 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward has thrown multiple touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Ward completed 18 of 29 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns with a season-high 101.2 passer rating in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has largely struggled this season, totaling 12 touchdowns to 16 turnovers and taking a league high 49 sacks. Positively, he's taken only one sack and committed one turnover in the past two games, but faces another challenge on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed the fifth fewest passing touchdowns and the 12th fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Ward profiles as a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues in Week 16.
Dec 20, 2025 1:35 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward remains off the fantasy radar heading into Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Ward has been very disappointing in his first pro season after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Miami product has 10 touchdowns and 13 touchdowns this season with a poor 59.1% completion rate. He also ranks as just the QB27 in fantasy leagues this year despite playing every offensive snap through 13 games. On a promising note, Ward has scored two touchdowns in two of his last three games. However, he's still struggling to accrue yardage, and the completion rate and turnover problems persist. Ward ranks as the overall QB30 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and can be benched in all fantasy leagues.
Dec 13, 2025 10:21 AM EST
Across 12 games, Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward has completed just 59.7% of his pass attempts for 2,351 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 23-year-old struggled mightily his last time out against the Jacksonville Jaguars, averaging a season-worst 3.7 yards per pass attempt. Ward's job won't get any easier in Week 14 when Tennessee takes on the Cleveland Browns. Through 13 weeks, Cleveland has allowed the third-fewest passing yards (2,327) and recorded the second-most sacks (43) in the NFL. Pass-rush pressure has been a major issue for Ward so far this season, as he's taken the most sacks (48) of any NFL quarterback in 2025. Even in two-quarterback formats, Ward should be off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 14.
Dec 6, 2025 2:20 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward struggled in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 24 of 38 passes for 141 yards with one carry for seven yards. The No. 1 overall pick also took three sacks for a loss of 20 yards as the Titans' offense struggled to move the ball all game. After having arguably his best game of the season last week against an elite Seattle Seahawks defense with 292 total yards and two touchdowns, Ward's 3.7 yards per attempt against the Jaguars was his lowest in a game this season. The Titans' offensive situation has been abysmal in 2025, with a lackluster skill position group and an inconsistent offensive line. Still, Ward has shown plenty of flashes and positive elements to build on. However, it's tough to trust him (even in superflex leagues) in a brutal Week 14 road matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
Dec 3, 2025 1:03 AM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward had arguably the best game of his young NFL career in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, completing 28 of 42 pass attempts for 256 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Ward also recorded 37 rushing yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts. The 23-year-old has been far more aggressive as a runner in recent weeks, recording 70 yards on nine attempts over his last two games after totaling just 46 yards on 18 attempts over his first nine contests. He now faces a favorable matchup on paper in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Through 12 weeks, Jacksonville ranks 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (2,788) and 26th in passing touchdowns allowed (22). Fantasy managers should proceed with caution based on the overall struggles of Ward and the Titans' offense in 2025, but the arrow is tentatively pointed in the right direction for the rookie. Ward profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 13 against the Jaguars.
Nov 29, 2025 2:43 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward completed 28 of 42 pass attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown and added 37 yards and a touchdown on six rushing attempts in his team's Week 12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After the game, Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy said that Ward's ability to take what the defense was giving with his legs is the "next part of his growth." The 23-year-old has now rushed for 70 yards over the last two weeks after recording 46 rushing yards over the first nine games of his NFL career. If Ward is going to continue to utilize his legs, it would obviously be a boost to his fantasy value. The rookie has struggled overall this season, but his performance against Seattle in Week 12 could be a sign of a late-season breakout. Ward could profile as a solid fantasy QB2 in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 25, 2025 12:00 PM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward delivered one of his most promising games in a tough Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, completing 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown to go with six carries for 37 yards and a score on the ground in a 30-24 loss. It was easily Ward's best game from a fantasy perspective, scoring 25.94 points, with his next closest being 15.06 in Week 11 against the Texans. The first overall pick in this past year's draft has gone through a gauntlet of a schedule, but he is showing encouraging signs of development in a tough offensive ecosystem in Tennessee. Ward rushed for a season high and scored the first rushing touchdown of his career, which could be a valuable piece of his fantasy scoring profile moving forward. Ward is an interesting waiver addition in deeper leagues ahead of Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 25, 2025 9:55 AM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward hasn't experienced a ton of success during his rookie campaign. Ward had a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12, but he made the most of it. Ward completed 28-of-42 passing attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The rookie quarterback also carried the ball six times for 37 yards and an additional score. This was the first multi-score game of Ward's career that will hopefully have many more. The rookie quarterback is making the most of it with a limited cast of offensive playmakers. We'll see if he can build off this performance and have success against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.
Nov 23, 2025 6:38 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward has struggled throughout his rookie season, ranking as the overall QB30 in fantasy football so far. He has completed just 58.4% of his passes with six touchdowns and 12 turnovers. Furthermore, the No. 1 pick hasn't finished higher than QB17 in any game this season. Some of the blame can be placed on Ward, but some can also be placed on a lack of weapons around him. Calvin Ridley (leg) is done for the year, leaving him with a wide receiver room led by Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor. Both receivers have shown promise, but they're still low-draft-capital rookies who are in the midst of an adjustment period. Tennessee's offense is rounded out by Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, and Chig Okonkwo, who have also been mediocre at best this year. To make matters worse, Ward will take on a very strong Seattle Seahawks pass defense in Week 12. Seattle has allowed the sixth-fewest passing yards per game since Week 7, and its nine interceptions rank eighth-most among defenses this season. Ward should have another rough outing against an imposing Seahawks defense, leaving him ranked as the overall QB27 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.
Nov 22, 2025 11:54 AM EST
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward went 24-for-37 for 194 yards with one touchdown in the crushing 16-13 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Ward also had three carries for a career high of 33 rushing yards with one lost fumble. The 23-year-old first overall pick put together his best fantasy performance of his young career, scoring over 14 fantasy points. Ward threw his lone touchdown to veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson on Sunday, making it his third game in four weeks throwing a touchdown. However, Ward had another turnover, bringing his total to 12 this season. Ward will once again be a QB3 in fantasy in a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.
Nov 17, 2025 10:09 PM EST
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward has been playing better lately, but is still off to a slow start to his rookie campaign. Over the last three games, Ward has thrown for over 220 yards in each of those contests. The biggest problem is that Ward has thrown an interception in each of the last five contests. The 23-year-old is also missing his top wide receiver in Calvin Ridley (hamstring) again this weekend. It's hard to imagine Ward having much success against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. Due to bye weeks, fantasy managers might have no choice but to start Ward. However, he should be viewed as a low-end option.
Oct 24, 2025 9:14 PM EST
During their first game with an interim coaching staff, the Tennessee Titans plan to "simplify" their offense in an attempt to aid rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick is completing just under 55% of his passes for 1,101 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions through six games, but the Titans are 1-5 and fired head coach Brian Callahan this week. Tennessee is set to take on resurgent New England in Week 7, which should keep Ward, ranked as the No. 33 fantasy quarterback, out of fantasy lineups. At this point, Ward should only be rostered in dynasty formats on a Titans team that is making another strong case to draft first overall.
