Following two months of extreme adversity, Cam Ward quietly enjoyed a solid second half to his rookie campaign. He flashed enough promise to give fans some faith heading into the offseason. When the young Tennessee Titans quarterback suffered a shoulder injury in the team’s regular season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, the optimism quickly turned into concern. Luckily, he avoided the worst-case scenario.
Ward has an AC joint sprain and will not require surgery, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Although he would have liked to go out swinging, the No. 1 overall draft pick should be elated. Both the QB and franchise have enough to work on in the next several months without having to worry about a long recovery period.
Ward should now have the opportunity to spend much of next summer focusing on his growth, a welcome sign for a Titans squad that must take steps forward in 2026. The former Heisman Trophy finalist and All-American is already facing unfavorable circumstances in Nashville. He will have a new head coach and possibly several new teammates on offense, but with the right leadership, Ward can potentially develop into a successful signal-caller.
