With Week 1 approaching, both developments could have a major impact on how the Titans begin a new era. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his rookie campaign was far from smooth. Tennessee finished 3-14, and Brian Callahan was dismissed after six games. Robinson caught more than 90 passes in each of the previous two seasons with the New York Giants and already knows Daboll’s offensive system.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Robinson was not believed to have suffered a concussion.
During a Thursday press conference, Nashville sports talk host Jared Stillman told the quarterback that he did not believe Ward had played well. Cam Ward’s second NFL season is already carrying plenty of attention. The Tennessee Titans quarterback has faced criticism after an uneven preseason, but he does not appear interested in letting outside opinions shape his outlook. At the same time, Tennessee received encouraging news about Wan’Dale Robinson, a key part of the offense. Ward did not try to avoid the criticism surrounding his preseason performances. Rather than turning the exchange into a confrontation, Ward explained how he views preseason football. For the second-year quarterback, the numbers are only one part of the picture. His focus is on understanding the offense, improving his decisions and making the game feel slower as he becomes more comfortable. That confidence will be important. Ward was the No. The latest update, however, offered relief. The Titans were still expected to monitor him, making it likely that the receiver would sit out the preseason finale as a precaution. That familiarity can make him an important safety valve for Ward as the young quarterback adjusts to another season of NFL football. The Titans need Ward to take a major step forward, and having trusted targets around him could make that challenge easier. His preseason numbers have raised questions, but the regular season will provide the first real opportunity to answer them.
