NASHVILLE – The Titans returned to the practice field on Wednesday at Vanderbilt Health Football Center to continue preparations for Sunday's game vs the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Here's a look at today's developments:
-Titans quarterback Cam Ward is back from the bye week, and ready to work.
"I went back home, and went to work," Ward said. "Continue to grow as a quarterback, get ahead on Jacksonville, watching their tape, and then just try to refine everything I can mechanic-wise and just continue to get in the playbook with coach Dabes (Brian Daboll). It was a bye week that was needed in order to rest our body and mind, but for sure to get better."
Ward is coming off his first 300-yard game against the Bengals, when he threw touchdown passes.
He knows the challenge coming up against the Jaguars.
"They are a very good defense," Ward said. "I think they are No.1 in the NFL in takeaways, so our biggest thing I protecting the football, from myself to the guys that run with it. … Protecting the football and trying to close out games in the fourth quarter – I think we'll be on one of those games this week, and we just have to try to get the job done."
