Nolan Smith praises Cam Ward ahead of Eagles-Titans matchup

Nolan Smith addressed the media ahead of the Eagles-Titans game on Sunday, downplaying ongoing chatter regarding Titans quarterback Cam Ward and praising his abilities. Despite Jeffery Simmons’ comments about Jalen Hurts, Smith opted for respect, stating, 'I ain't gonna do what they did,' while recognizing the challenges Ward poses due to his mobility. Ward's performance in the Titans' season-opening loss to the Jets included 19 completions for 140 yards and one touchdown, as he looks to improve this week. The Eagles' defense is focused on containing Ward without compromising their scheme.
