The Tennessee Titans introduced their new head coach, Robert Saleh, on Thursday, and while most of the press conference focused on his philosophy and personnel, some news emerged that should put Titans fans at ease.
Following the press conference, Jim Wyatt reported that general manager Mike Borgonzi talked about Cam Ward and how he is recovering from the AC joint sprain that kept him out of the season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the news is extremely positive. He said Ward is rehabilitating his right shoulder and is doing well.
Ward left the Week 18 matchup against the Jaguars following a first-quarter touchdown run, which was later revealed to be a sprained AC joint after the game. No timeline was given for its recovery, so it’s unclear if it will be available for OTAs in May.Advertisement
This will be an important offseason for Ward as the Titans transition to a new offense under Brian Daboll, and missing OTAs would be a major setback. However, the Titans’ hopes rest on Ward’s shoulders, and his health for the regular season is essential to the team’s success.
