Ward completed 5-of-12 passes, with a touchdown drive on his initial series but faltered in subsequent attempts. Saleh attributes Ward’s performance to first-time nerves against an opposing defense and emphasizes the need for more practice to build confidence in his execution. The Titans will face the Seahawks in their next preseason game.
