Tennessee Titans Name Cam Ward Starting Quarterback After Levis Injury

The Tennessee Titans are entering the 2025 NFL season with renewed optimism following a dismal 3-14 record last year, largely due to their No. 1 overall draft pick, rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Ward, who has shown promise in training camp and preseason drills, has become the undisputed starter after Will Levis suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, with the coaching staff and veteran backup Brandon Allen supporting his development. Ward's connection with wide receiver Calvin Ridley is strengthening, promising an exciting offensive duo for the Titans. The team recently signed former Tennessee Volunteer Ramel Keyton to bolster their receiving corps after an injury to Treylon Burks, adding depth and experience. On defense, the Titans welcomed edge rusher Jihad Ward, who brings versatility and pass-rushing ability following the unexpected retirement of linebacker Lorenzo Carter, aiming to improve last season's low sack total. The Titans look to capitalize on these changes as they prepare for their preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 9.
