Bleacher Report notes that, after a disappointing offensive start to the 2026 season, the Tennessee Titans are not in a hurry to replace rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, the Titans want to give Ward more time to adjust to offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's scheme. Fowler wrote that Ward’s accuracy and decision‑making are concerns, but the team values his work ethic and low turnover rate, with only one interception in three games.

Dan Graziano, also cited by Bleacher Report, described a broader “sense” that the Titans’ environment is “out of whack,” pointing to a disconnect between Ward and the coaching staff and noting that the offseason should have addressed scheme issues.
