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

Ward, the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, celebrated a touchdown pass to veteran receiver Calvin Ridley by shoving Simmons and doing his trademark “Zombieland” celebration. Simmons, a seven-year vet and two-time second-team All-Pro selection, responded by pushing Ward’s facemask with both hands.

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.

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.

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.

Ward joins Tennessee after having a monstrous season at Miami, where he broke numerous quarterback records in the Hurricanes' school history. Cam Ward ended his final collegiate year with 4,313 passing yards (school record) and 39 passing touchdowns (school record) while owning an impressive 67.2% completion percentage.

Henderson landed in a less-than-ideal situation when the Patriots made him the 38th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had a history of using a committee approach at the position, and it appeared Rhamondre Stevenson would remain the lead back.
