The Tennessee Titans held their first padded practice of Training Camp at St. Thomas Sports Park on Tuesday, and thank God for it. Goodbye t-shirts and shorts, hello hitting. Football is closer to all the way back.

Cam Ward is a dawg and brings a new and desperately needed energy to a fledgling franchise that hasn’t had a personality for years. Ward practically dared the Titans not to use the first overall pick in the 2025 draft to make him the face of their faceless franchise.

The Tennessee Titans were hit with some surprising news right before the start of training camp when it was revealed that Will Levis was undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. It was made more confusing by the fact that Levis recently hosted a camp where he was throwing the ball just fine.

A clip of Ward's shortened answer was posted to X, with the user calling Ward “ruthless” and adding that “many fans are upset by Ward's lack of sympathy.”

The reins of the Titans offense were already likely in the hands of No. 1 pick Cam Ward when he was taken in the draft this spring, but that reality was confirmed earlier this week when it was announced that a Will Levis would undergo shoulder surgery that would sideline him for the 2025 season.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis will miss the 2025-26 regular season as he is set to undergo shoulder surgery later this month. This paves the way for No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward to take over as the team’s starting QB.

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward and coach Brian Callahan offered their reactions to QB Will Levis' decision to opt for season-ending surgery.

While it didn’t seem likely that Levis would have a starting role in Tennessee this season after the Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, general manager Mike Borgonzi confirmed earlier in the offseason that the plan was to “ have competition in the room .”

Titans quarterback Cam Ward got brutally honest when sharing his reaction to hearing about Will Levis' season-ending surgery.
