The Tennessee Titans opened their 2026 NFL season with an important victory, and they will look to maintain that momentum in Week 2 when they host the Seattle Seahawks. Looking to keep him on the field, Robert Saleh will start the game with Cam Ward, although he has not ruled out rotating at the position throughout the game.
According to the Titans’ official website, Saleh said he expects his starters to play roughly between 20 and 25 snaps, and perhaps even until halftime. Getting Ward ready for Week 1 is a must for this team.
What other options does the head coach have on the depth chart to see them on the field against the Seahawks? The first backup is Mitchell Trubisky, while Will Levis and Hendon Hooker are further down the depth chart.
How did Ward fare in preseason Week 1?
In what was a 19-13 victory over the 49ers, Cam Ward started the game for the Titans, playing the first three drives before being replaced by Mitchell Trubisky in the second quarter. He finished 5-of-12 passing for 57 yards across three drives, with Carnell Tate as his primary target during his time on the field.

Cam Ward’s sophomore season has the Titans generating plenty of excitement, as they look to improve on their disappointing 3-14 record from last season, which left them at the bottom of the AFC South.
Another test for the Titans
Beyond what should be a tough and intriguing test against the Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl champions, the Titans will wrap up their preseason with an important Week 3 matchup. Back at Nissan Stadium, Saleh will have to devise a game plan to face the Chicago Bears on Saturday, August 29, bringing Tennessee preseason slate to a close.
