The Tennessee Titans are trying to play spoiler against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as a win would prevent Jacksonville from earning the AFC South title. Unfortunately, rookie quarterback Cam Ward suffered a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the game early.
Ward, who is 23 years old, ran in for a touchdown to put the Titans up 7-0 early against the Jaguars. However, he took a hard shot on the play and was sent to the locker room to be checked by the training staff, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

With it being the final game of the season and the Titans likely not wanting to risk a long-term injury, Cam Ward has officially been ruled out, per Turron Davenport of ESPN. The news was originally announced on Titans Radio.
“Per Titans radio, Cam Ward is OUT. His rookie season is over.”
Ward started all 17 games this season in his rookie year. It was a roller coaster of a campaign for the former No. 1 overall pick, as Tennessee was one of the worst teams in the league throughout. He ends his rookie season with 3,169 passing yards and 15 touchdowns through the air while completing 59.6% of his pass attempts.
Hopefully, the shoulder injury isn’t too serious, and Cam Ward can bounce back from it sooner, rather than later. The ideal situation is for Ward not have to spend so much time rehabbing an injury so he can focus on developing his game instead. Tennessee will have to evaluate Ward and will likely announce an official status in due time.
