Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Cam Ward INJURY UPDATE is GREAT NEWS for Tennessee Titans, Cam Wants Rueben Bain & NFL Helps Titans

Episode Date: February 22, 2026

The Tennessee Titans offseason has been very exciting, but underneath is all is a slight concern about Cam Ward's shoulder, which was hurt in Week 18, but according to a report over the weekend, Ward should be ready to begin throwing again in 2-3 weeks. This is tremendous news considering all of the change coming with the coaching turnover. Speaking of Cam, Ward participated in a live card breaking event this weekend and might have hinted at who the Titans should draft in the first round, and no surprise, it was his former teammate Rueben Bain, we think. This echoes Jeffery Simmons comments earlier in the offseason that pined for Bain as well. Finally, some news around the NFL should be considered positive for the Titans as John Franklin-Myers had a very interesting comment on social media that could hint at him coming to Tennessee. Also, in running back news, Jevonte Williams got a deal from the Dallas Cowboys that could impact the Titans and Breece Hall, a potential free agent target, has not been tagged yet and may avoid it from the New York Jets.   LOCKED ON TITANS EVERYDAY CLUB: https://lockedontitans.supercast.com/   Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans   TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc   Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans   Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod   Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

We got a major injury update on Cam Ward's shoulder over the weekend, and it is great news for the Tennessee Titans. I'll break it down on today's edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked on podcast network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland Titans fans. Today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast is brought to you by Fandall.

Use your profit boost on an NBA future and get entered for a chance to win a trip to the NBA finals. Play your game with Fandle, the official sports betting partner of the NBA. On today's show, we got a ton of news over the weekend. We got an injury update on Cam Ward and it's absolutely fantastic. Also, some interesting comments from the Titans two best players about who they want in the NFL draft and John Franklin Myers looking at the Titans. A ton of NFL news that affects the Titans over the weekend. Before I dive into all of it,

do want to thank you for making Locked-on Titans your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free. Make sure that you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It's your team every day. Speaking of every day, shout out to my everydayers out there.

Tune in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you aren't an everydayer, you need to be one. The NFL Combine is this week. Your boy will be on site to ask a question to Robert Sala, Mike Borgonzi, all that, and I'll be bringing all that information directly to you guys here on the show.

Also, free agency right around the corner, the draft right after that. Make sure that you stay locked in with the number one Tennessee Titans podcast in the world locked on Titans. But with that being said, again, we got an injury update on Cam Ward's shoulder over the weekend. It is absolutely fantastic news and we get the news from a guy who I always enjoyed who covered the Titans and Cam Wolf who now works for NFL Network but he said that Cam Ward will be ready to throw and resume throwing in two to three weeks said it in a TV interview over the weekend he said quote that Cam Ward is recovering well also mentioned that Cam Ward's trying to eliminate some bad habits that he developed last year with his mechanics and things like that.

And all of that should be music to Tennessee Titans fans' ears. Number one, just from a health perspective, you know, we haven't really gotten solid reporting on exactly what Cam Ward's shoulder injury. We know it's an AC joint sprain, but is it grade three? Is it grade this? Is it bubble? There's been conflicting reports out there.

But for Cam Ward to not only not need surgery, which is what I talked about at the end of the, season after the injury happened. If Cam Ward can avoid surgery on his throwing shoulder, that is what is the best outcome possible. So this tells us not only is he going to be able to avoid surgery and not need that surgery, but he's already going to be throwing by the time we get into mid-March. I mean, a round-wind free agency is going to kick off. March the 9th, March the 10th, March the 11th. Cam should be good to go and start throwing. That's excellent. When you look at the full timeline, Remember, he hurt his shoulder in the final game against the Jacksonville Jaguars

when he ran out and scored a touchdown and got landed on with some dirtiness in the hit, but I won't pearl clutch with football and the hits that are out there. But nonetheless, it was a concerning time. But for him to be back throwing, what? Eight weeks, nine weeks after that, avoiding the surgery and being ready to go. Like, that is the best possible outcome

that Tennessee Titans fans could have hoped for, that the Tennessee Titans organization could have hoped for, and that Cam Ward could have hoped for. And again, it is more than just Cam Ward being healthy. We want Cam Ward to be healthy. That's a simple thing. I don't want Cam Ward to need surgeries and have to rehab and blah. But think about how critical this offseason is,

not only to Cam Ward, but to the rest of the offense. If he's throwing in March, that means he can get with his weapons and get with his guys and actually throw. a little bit before the Tennessee Titans get back to organized team activities in April. And Brian Dable kept saying, can't wait for April, can't wait for April, because that's when they actually get together and get to do some football stuff, get to start installing the offense and all that.

But wouldn't it be nice if Cam Ward could have one of those trips to Cabo or one of those trips to a Caribbean island and take some guys with them like Elykeye O'Man or like Chimdike, like Chimdike, like Chimd, like Gunner Helm, like Calvin Ridley, you know, whoever the Titans sign in free agency. If they could get together in early April, late March, and throw together, that's more than just, oh, I want Cam Ward to be healthy, which is a duh moment. It's we can actually start building forward, getting ready for the season,

being ahead of schedule. My concern with the Cam Ward injury was, is he going to be healthy to work when it's time to install the offense in April? Is he going to be able to get some early work with his weapons and get that chemistry and that cohesion going? Is he going to be able to get his hands on the playbook and then go out and rep those things a little bit with his guys in those, you know, organized Cam Ward events, not necessarily team events? Is he going to be able, is he going to be ready for OTAs into mandatory mini camp and then have perfect health going into training camp? It's so critical because it's a brand new offense, a brand new system, brand new terminology, and the other reality that we have to accept is a lot of brand new players.

The Titans hopefully have two or three brand new wide receivers on this roster. Hopefully have a brand new tight end. Hopefully have a brand new running back. We haven't heard any noise about Titans cuts or anything like that. And I'll tell you this, I am begging the Tennessee Titans to start doing something before free agency kicks. I mean, free agency, the tampering period, I believe, starts on March the 9th. Real free agency, when the deals start getting announced,

happens on March the 11th. Like a lot of these contracts that we're talking about that could be potential cuts for the Titan Sneed, Pollard Woods, the money changes after March the 15th. You want to get this stuff in order before you get to free agency. So I think we are going to start hearing some stuff this week as teams are at the combine and they're talking to player agents and they're saying, hey, would your player be interested in signing with us? Hey, would they be interested for this price?

How would this guaranteed dollar amount work? And then once the Titans talk to some of those agents and get an understanding of what the landscape is, then they can make their own decision. So I think we're going to get a cut or two. Legerius needs to be cut by the end of the week. But again, Cam Ward being ready to throw in two to three weeks can allow him to get with some of these guys,

can allow him to be ready for OTAs in mandatory minicamp to hit the ground running with the new system and building chemistry with his new weapons. So again, there's no other way to frame this than this is excellent news. This is truly the best case scenario for Cam Ward having an injury in the last week of the season. Like that in itself, in a vacuum is a terrible thing to say. But the way that it worked out, no surgery, ready to start throwing after eight weeks, going to be ready to go in middle of March to start throwing,

be ready for OTAs and all that stuff. Again, it could not have worked out any better considering the circumstances. and it gives the Tennessee Titans a ton of clarity and gives the rest of the offense a ton of clarity because they're not going to have to worry about somebody else being in there and Cam Ward being behind the eight ball. So it's all great and I say the eight ball and I could be referring to Will Levis behind the eight ball.

You know what I mean? It worked out a little bit better than I even expected there. But with that being said, what will the Titans do in the draft? Well, if we believe a quote that Cam Ward might have said this weekend and we know what Jeffrey Simmons said, earlier this off season. Sounds like Tennessee Titans two best players

want Rubin Bain. Do want to let you know that today's episode is brought to you by TurboTax. Tax season doesn't have to take over your life.

We got from Cam Wolf of NFL Network. Great news for the Tennessee Titans for multiple reasons. Not only Cam Ward's health, but what it means for all the other players in the offense and the coaches as well. But now I want to talk about more Cam Ward news because there's something interesting that happened over the weekend and I think it points in a good direction for the Titans.

Now, I will tell you this. Full disclosure. I did not hear this quote directly myself. I did not find a video file afterwards. But apparently Cam Ward was doing a card break event uh you know sports cards opening packs all that

not something that I am 100% into but I know a lot of you guys are a lot of discussion about cards and stuff in the Locked on Titans every day or chat so you guys should check that out but if we are to believe my guy Stone Titan

on Twitter if what he says is true he tweeted this he was at the event he said Cam Ward pulled Ruben Bain's card in one of his packs and said that's our first round pick right there

that's the quote that's our first round pick right there now I talked to someone else who was at the event who said they didn't hear Cam Ward say that not to say that he did not say that but just they didn't hear it themselves so they couldn't confirm it

there's no video evidence or anything like that So I am going to admit here We don't know if that's true I don't want to call the tweeter into question and his integrity or anything like that But we don't know for certain if that's true But would it be that big of a stretch The reality is that's Cam Ward's teammate from Miami

It would not be a shock whatsoever If Cam Ward said that And here's the thing I don't think that Cam Ward saying That's our first round pick right there means that Cam Ward knows that that is their first round pick because how could you know that? They're picking fourth.

It's not like they're picking first and they know that they can take whoever they want. But it would make all the sense in the world for Cam Ward to have said that and Ruben Bain would make all the sense in the world as the pick. And let me remind you that when Jeffrey Simmons went on busing with the boys

earlier this all season, one of the best Jeffrey Simmons interviews, one of the best Titans interviews that I've ever seen. If you miss the Jeffrey Simmons interview on Bustin with the boys, you got to check it out. I don't pub, other podcasts, and stuff like that,

but it's such a good interview that it deserves its attention if you missed it. But Jeffrey Simmons said, I'd like to have Ruben Bain on my team. Literally said it. Yeah, that Bain from Miami. I mean, it just makes

so much sense for the Tennessee Titans and I go back to Gus Bradley's comment at the opening press conference where he said we want two different kinds of edges you have a physical edge who could play out on the edge on first and second down and then kick inside to rush the passer on passing downs

you have your prototypical speed edge rusher who could be on the outside all three downs and rush with speed to the quarterback. Now Ruben Bain fits the first description absolutely perfectly. There are some people who are concerned about the arm length and think that Ruben Bain may have to kick inside to be a pass rusher because his arms aren't very long.

Well, if I know that he's incredibly physical against the run and can set the edge with the best of him because of his dominance and his, you know, tenacious mind state, and then I'm worried about the arms so I move him into the interior to rush. Doesn't that fit that description the first one perfectly? like that's exactly what you want. And if the Titans were to sign Trey Hendrickson in Free Agency, who is more of a pure path.

He's a big-bodied guy who could be physical, but he's more of a pure pass rusher. So he could be that speed guy on the outside. If they were to get a Daffae O'A, if they were to get Jalen Phillips, if they were to get, I don't think this guy is as clean of a fit, but I always really liked him even coming out of college, Boye-Moffay.

If they were to get one of those guys who could be every down speed rusher, all three downs on one edge, and then let Ruben Bain be that. And imagine Ruben Bain head up on an offensive tackle. Femiola Dejo as the Sam linebacker next to him. Like, who is running that direction? And let Jeffrey Simmons be the backside three technique. And then a wide defensive end like Trey Hendrickson.

who's running on the Titans? Who, who, who? That's what I want to know. Alice in the chat. Like, it's not going to happen. And if you get Ruben Bain at number four, it gives you the ability to then hammer some other positions late.

And I want to do a mock draft potentially on tomorrow's show, the bonus episode on Monday afternoon. Do a little mock draft before I head off to the combine. But imagine if the Titans were to get Ruben Bain at number four. and then you follow that up and you get into the second round and you have an Omar Cooper who I think Omar Cooper very similar to

Brandon Ayuk great route runner, good size, great speed I love Omar Cooper give me Omar Cooper all day I think he's going to go late first round if Ricky Pearson saw goes in the late first round of an NFL draft Omar Cooper can go in the late first round draft

some other guys who I think makes sense. Chris Brasel. And listen, I know Tennessee wide receivers don't have great history in the NFL, but Brasel is different. I'm sorry, he's different. The way he sinks his hips, the way he runs routes,

the way he executes outbreaking routes. They let him do some different stuff at Tennessee. 6 foot 5, 200 pounds, that sort of speed, that sort of hip sink. Like, that's looking like a star wide receiver, in my opinion. I love some Chris Brasel, some Omar Cooper. A guy who has some drop issues,

I admit he's got to clean up the drops. And maybe the Titans aren't interested in that as much because I.O. has terrible drop issues. D.K. has some drop issues. Ridley's had some drop issues. Maybe they're just going to be scared away from anybody else that has drop issues. But, Casey Conception, man, I'll tell you what.

the way that guy moves unbelievable speed yards after catch ability that would be a big boost to the Tennessee Titans offense you want to go a little further Chris Bell out of Louisville yes had the ACL tear

certainly going to knock his draft stock but that's an AJ Brown right there 6 foot 2 200 pounds catch something short break a tackle run all the way to the end zone Chris Bell has such great yak such physicality. Again,

AJ Brown style player, Chris Bell out of Louisville. I would love that. And a guy who I don't think needs to be targeted this high in the draft. I think that 35

would be incredibly rich for this player right now. But we're about to go into the combine and this guy is absolutely going to nuke the combine. Zachariah Branch out of Georgia. Listen, I'm a branch head.

I think he's, He's going to be awesome. Now, the concerns are he didn't run a diverse route tree in college. A large portion of his plays are behind the line of scrimmage, quick screen, stuff like that. Will that translate? I don't know, but I'll tell you this. The quick, shifty slot-wide receiver and the yards after catch demon that is Zachariah Branch fits perfectly in Brian Dable's offense.

He would be our Wondell Robinson if the Titans can't get Wondell Robinson in free agency. That would... Imagine if they were to get Michael Pittman Jr. and then Zachariah Branch. Or flip that. Imagine if they were able to get Wondale Robinson and Chris Brasel. So you have your big, taller wide receiver and your slot wide receiver. And I've seen some people say the Titans don't need a slot. They have Chim DK.

I will continue to explain this. DK is more of a vertical slot. DK is not a precise route runner right now. He can't run those quick option routes that Danny Amandola, Wes Welker type route he can't run those. At least not right now you can't count on him to run those. So Wondale Robinson is more of a traditional slot

that also has the speed to go vertically whereas Jim DK is a vertical slot and I think DK and Calvin Ridley can rotate a ton at the Z position this year. So you go Bain, you get Hendrickson and free agency. You grab Wondale Robinson and Chris Brasel. Think if we left free agency in the draft with Bain, Hendrickson on the edge, and Brasel and Robinson

as the additions at wide receiver. And then you go into the third round and you get a Dante Moore out of Florida, Chris Johnson out of San Diego State, Will Lee out of Texas A&M, trade in Stukes, Igbenosin, Will Neal, or I can't think of Neal's

Julian Neal, like, and you get a cornerback in round three. What an ideal start for the Tennessee Titans. It could not possibly go better than that. So, if Jeff and Cam want Ruben Bain,

y'all know that I want Ruben Bain as well. So hopefully the Tennessee Titans will listen. But with that being said, again, There's some adjacent NFL news that happened over the weekend. And one of those things is the Titans hiring a new assistant on the defensive side of the ball and it might just bring them maybe my favorite free agent of the entire crop.

We talked about Cam and Big Jeff or potential. can verify but hey let's just let's pretend for a moment Big Jeff vouching for Ruben Bain in the draft and the domino effect that that could have on the Titans draft and all season but now we gotta talk about some other more random news here because some some things happen that aren't necessarily exactly Titans news per se but they affect the Titans the first one is with John Franklin Myers and I guess that is purely Tennessee Titans news

but before we do do want to thank you for making a lockdown Titans your first listen each and every day. I want to remind you guys to join the Locked on Titans Every Dayer Club.

But check out the Locked on Titans Every Day or Club. It's just a small way that you can help support the show.

But again, want to bring up something very interesting that happened over the weekend. The Tennessee Titans have hired a new defensive assistant. Okay? His name is Tanzel Smart. He was on the New York Jets when they're hard knocks with Robert Sala happened. former player being brought on as a defensive assistant. And he tweeted it out or put it on Instagram that he was the new coach, put on his own Instagram.

And you know who commented on that Instagram post? John Franklin Myers, the interior defensive lineman from the Denver Broncos who was the interior defensive lineman with the New York Jets when Robert Sala was the coach who also happens to be maybe my favorite free agent target of the entire bunch. Is he as big of a name as Tyreek Wollen or

George Pickens or Trey Hendrickson? No. And the Titans don't need interior defensive line as bad as they need other spots. But John Franklin Myers can be the next DeNico Autry. And I don't mean that their games are similar. I'm saying a free agent at the value portion of his career

who comes in and, don't throw a party for, but comes in and absolutely goes nuts and is incredibly valuable to the team. John Franklin Myers can be that guy. Imagine him and Big Jeff rushing from the interior. It would be nuts.

But John Franklin Myers in the comment section of Tanzo Smart's Instagram post says, you thinking, what I'm thinking with the eyeball emoji. And then Sebastian Joseph Day responded to that with,

that's what I'm thinking. So Sebastian Joseph Day, who I want the Titans to bring back, who fits perfectly as a penetrating interior defensive lineman and Robert Salas system. John Franklin Myers, both in the comments, chirping back and forth with each other under a new Tennessee Titans head cut or a defensive assistant Instagram post, I'm just saying

you connect the dots a little on that and it seems like at minimum, at minimum. John Franklin Myers is interested in coming to the Tennessee Titans and boy would I love to have him. And he had some of his best years with Robert Sala in that defense. He knows it like the back of his hand.

I will continue to pound the table for John Franklin Myers as I have been the entire office. season. I've been talking about John Franklin Myers for quite some time now. He just fits perfectly. In the defense with the culture of the team,

just fantastic. And to see Sebastian Joseph Day, who I want to come back and to see the Titans, new defensive assistant coach, garnering those comments, how could you guys not be fired up about that? Like, I don't

want to read too much into it, but I mean, come on now. That's seems pretty clear that that is Titans related. It has to be. Okay? So that's great news for the Titans there. Now, some other news in the NFL at the running back position. Number one, Brees Hall has not been franchise tag yet. Hasn't been transition tag yet.

And again, the transition tag is what you should be rooting for if you want Brees Hall at running back. Because then the Titans have the ability to negotiate a contract with them and it's up to the Jets whether they want to match it or not at least it gives the Titans the opportunity to get their hands on. Now, the franchise tag would be worse because that's exclusive. You can't go out and negotiate.

The Titans would have to trade for Breece Hall and I'm sorry I'm out on any trade for a running back. No way, we're doing that. But it's still good news that it hasn't been tagged yet because the Jets, maybe they don't want to play with them on the franchise tag. They want to try to get a long-term deal negotiated but they're not willing to put him on the tag to figure that out. and if he gets to free agency,

the tag deadline is March the 3rd. If he gets to free agency, now it's on. Now all bets are off. Now, one other piece of running back news that I thought was important here is, Javante Williams from the Dallas Cowboys

got an extension, got re-signed by the Cowboys. Three years, $24 million. Okay. Now, I think that that is relevant because we're looking at Tony Pollard, right? Is Tony Pollard going to come back to the Titans? Remains to be seen. But I think the price of Giovante Williams is critical because, in my opinion,

Javante had a better year than Tony Pollard did. And I mean, you want to look at the numbers. He had 1,200 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns. That's a better year than Tony Pollard. So if Javante Williams had a better year than Tony Pollard and only got $8 million per season, why would the Titans pay Tony Pollard 9.7 million? Do you see what I'm saying?

If Williams having 1,200 yards gets 8 million, that's driving the price down of all the other running backs. And it means paying Tony Pollard, what Tony Pollard is getting paid on the cap doesn't make any sense. Tony Pollard would probably get $5 or $6 million per year right now if he was in the free agent market. So you can't pay him $4 million above that,

$3 million above that. You can't. It doesn't make any sense. You could cut him and get somebody cheaper with the $7 million that you're saving on him. So I think the Giovante Williams deal will make it more likely that the Tennessee Titans cut Tony Pollard

and not only that, but it makes it simpler and cheaper for the Titans to go get a good running back because whereas you're thinking maybe Kenneth Walker gets $15 million a year if Javonte Williams only got $8 million a year, Kenneth Walker is probably only going to get 10 to 12 and any savings the Titans can have

driving the value down and then the Titans being able to outbid other people because they can go to the high end of that range. that's helpful. So weekend news around the NFL, whether it's on Instagram, whether it's other NFL teams operating, all good for the Tennessee Titans. A great weekend for the Titans, in my opinion. But Combine Week is here. I'm gonna be at the Combine to ask my questions directly to Robert Sala, to Mike Morgonzi.

Let me know what you guys would ask. If you had the opportunity down below, maybe I'll use one of your guys' questions if it's a good one. But with that being said, that is going to do it for me today. folks, as always. I am your host, Tyler Rowland, and this was Locked on Titans.
