Summary

The Tennessee Titans kickoff the 2025 preseason on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cam Ward must play significant snaps to prepare him for the NFL season ahead. This means at least the first quarter or two drives, regardless of what we see in the first drive. Ward isn't alone though as other Titans heavy hitters like Jeffery Simmons need to be out on the field too. This is a very young roster so watching players like Elic Ayomanor, Gunnar Helm and Femi Oladejo will be the most exciting part and how those players perform will largely determine the success of the evening. Finally, the Titans won't have two key young players out there in T'Vondre Sweat and Kevin Winston, which is certainly a disappointment.
