Cam Ward's strong start sparks Titans fans' hopes in preseason
Cam Ward's strong start sparks Titans fans' hopes in preseason originally appeared on The Sporting News Tennessee Titans fans got their first real look at Cam Ward in uniform, and the rookie quarterback gave them plenty to talk about. In his NFL preseason debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward led a crisp second-quarter touchdown drive that hinted at the franchise's future under center. A rough opening followed by a breakthrough Ward's first drive ended quickly, with an incomplete pass to Van Jefferson and a throwaway under pressure. Tampa Bay's long touchdown possession kept him on the sideline for much of the first quarter. When Ward returned in the second, he wasted no time making an impact. His first throw of the drive was a 27-yard strike to Calvin Ridley, setting the tone for what became the night's most talked-about connection. Chemistry with Calvin Ridley Ward kept leaning on the veteran wideout, hitting Ridley for two more short completions on the same drive. Even after a near interception on a pass to Chigoziem Okonkwo, Ward bounced back, finding the tight end for a key third-down conversion. Tony Pollard capped off the march with a touchdown run.

It was a short but encouraging debut for the first overall pick, who showed poise and precision once he settled in. The Titans will get another look at their rookie signal-caller next Friday when they face the Atlanta Falcons in their second preseason game.

Raiders driving!
Catch up on our live coverage and reaction, with the NFL preseason schedule up and running Getty Images Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson dislocated the pinky finger on his throwing hand as the opening week of the NFL preseason began tonight. Baltimore beat Indianapolis 24-16, with Ravens wideout LaJohntay Wester's 87-yard punt return touchdown the play of the night. Richardson left the game early in the first quarter after David Ojabo's blind-side sack, with head coach Shane Steichen calling the quarterback 'day-to-day' afterward. Philadelphia secured a 34-27 win over Cincinnati in a game that saw two touchdown passes each for Joe Burrow and Tanner McKee. Finally, Daniel Carlson's 51-yard field goal capped Las Vegas' comeback to secure a 23-23 tie with Seattle in Pete Carroll's return to Lumen field, wrapping up the Thursday action. Three more games will take place Friday night. Share your thoughts: live@ Imagn Images Q2 10:30 - Seahawks 7, Raiders 0 Now the Raiders are cooking! Back-to-back beautiful seam passes from Aidan O'Connell have Las Vegas down to Seattle's 11-yard line. Marshawn Lynch is shown on the broadcast, and former Seahawks teammates Michael Robinson and Michael Bennett can't help but have fun at his expense, joking about all the products he endorses. 'I don't want to use any soap he uses,' Robinson cracks as Bennett chuckles. Getty Images Joe Burrow and the first-team offense were electric. The rest? Well, I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of teachable moments in the film room. Cincinnati is now winless in seven straight preseason games, for those who care about such things. Q2 13:03 - Seahawks 7, Raiders 0 This is... certainly a preseason game. Drew Lock responds to Aidan O'Connell's ugly interception with a just-as-ugly fumbled snap. Lock falls on the ball to prevent a turnover, but the loss of yardage leads to a Seahawks punt. Seattle was flagged for nearly the entire defense leaving the bench to celebrate the Josh Jobe interception. Why flag that in the preseason? I do not know. And here's what that interception (and celebration) looked like... Getty Images Final - Eagles 34, Bengals 27 After the turnover on downs, the Eagles run the ball three times and the Bengals let the clock run out, presumably because it is only the preseason. Regardless, this ballgame is over. Strong showing from Tanner McKee and the Bengals first-team offense, though they were only on the field for two possessions. Q2 14:47 - Seahawks 7, Raiders 0 Now it's Josh Jobe who's in perfect position to snag a horribly underthrown ball from Aidan O'Connell! Each team has an interception now. The Seahawks are then flagged — because the ENTIRE Seattle starting defense ran onto the field to celebrate with the backup safety. Colts head coach Shane Steichen says linebacker Jaylon Carlies has an ankle injury. No timeline for his return. Q4 1:56 - Eagles 34, Bengals 27 Ridder lobs a pass down the sideline intended for Rashod Owens but he is unable to make the contested grab as the Bengals turn the ball over on downs. Getty Images The Seahawks have been moving the ball pretty easily on the Raiders. Las Vegas' run defense has been really poor. Colts head coach Shane Steichen says in his postgame presser that rookie CB Justin Walley, who was on track to be a starter, tore his ACL and is out for the season. Walley didn't play Thursday night, so it's likely he suffered the injury during Tuesday's joint practice with the Ravens. He left that practice early with a knee injury. It's a devastating blow, both to the Colts' secondary and to the third-round pick himself. Walley had the chance to solidify himself as the Colts' starting outside cornerback opposite Charvarius Ward. The Colts have some solid depth behind Walley and will now rely on the likes of JuJu Brents and Jaylon Jones to fill the void left by Walley. Q1 0:05 - Seahawks 7, Raiders 0 It's George Holani, not Ashton Jeanty, who's the former Boise State running back that gets things started in Seattle! Really nice drive from Drew Lock and the Seahawks. Lock got Seattle in position for that run with some great precise passes, while Holani already has 61 rush yards and a touchdown (after that overturn on a replay review) in the first quarter. Keaton Mitchell (nine carries, 68 yards and one touchdown) on his return from injury for Baltimore: 💬 'I feel a lot better, a lot more confident. Just trusting my knee that I can do what I need to do.' Q4 2:00 - Eagles 34, Bengals 27 We have reached the two-minute warning in Phildelphia. After the break, the Bengals will face a fourth-and-9 with the game on the line. Can Desmond Ridder continue the comeback? Getty Images Q1 0:05 - Raiders 0, Seahawks 0 Get used to seeing some fullback runs, Seahawks fans! Another nice fullback block springs George Holani for a big run on a trademark Klint Kubiak zone play — but he's ruled down short of the end zone. On replay, however, it's pretty clear Holani got in. Mike Macdonald throws the challenge flag, somewhat in disgust that he has to, and we await the replay ruling... LaJohntay Wester was dangerous for the Ravens on their punt return team, including an 87-yard return for a touchdown. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh talked about Wester's impact: 💬 'Obviously, what LaJohntay did was awesome and just to be aggressive … The first punt was a short punt and a tough catch, and he ran up there and made it. Then he gets yards. And every time, he had guys buzzing around him. I thought the blocking was good too, but he made guys miss and got big yards. The touchdown, obviously, was massive.' Imagn Images Q1 1:45 - Raiders 0, Seahawks 0 That's another strong tackle for Jamal Adams, but the veteran safety is the only one making plays right now as the Seahawks march deep into Raiders territory. Drew Lock appears to be settling in after that early interception. Q1 4:42 - Raiders 0, Seahawks 0 Tory Horton, a fifth-round rookie wide receiver out of Colorado State, has flashed his athleticism in both the return and passing games. Sadly, that last catch was out of bounds. Meanwhile, there's still another former Seahawk on the field — onetime Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams, who has also followed Pete Carroll to the Raiders.

WATCH: Adams has plenty left in the tank

Three more games will take place Friday night. Share your thoughts: live@ One time star safety Jamal Adams rejuvenated his career once under Pete Carroll. He appears to be making the most of his opportunity to do so again with the Raiders, if his play early on is any indication. Imagn Images Tonight, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase picked up exactly where they left off last season — creating chaos for opposing defenses. The Bengals starters only played two drives on offense but both possessions were efficient and effective. Burrow went 9-for-10 passing for 123 yards and two touchdowns, one to Tanner Hudson and the other to Chase, who reeled in all four of his targets for 77 yards and a score. On his touchdown catch, Chase caught an out route, pivoted back inside and outran the entire Eagles' secondary into the end zone for the score. Q2 9:22 - Seahawks 7, Raiders 3 Nice response from the Seahawks' defense in the red zone, drawing praise on the broadcast from 'Legion of Boom' legend Michael Bennett. A pass breakup on third down forces the Raiders to take a short field goal, which Daniel Carlson converts. Getty Images Tanner McKee is already penciled in as the Eagles backup quarterback and he left little doubt as to why in his first game action of the preseason. The 25-year-old out of Stanford completed 20 of his 25 passes for 252 yards and two scores. He even added a touchdown on the ground in the first quarter on the Eagles patented 'Tush Push.' McKee played well into the third quarter, accumulating valuable reps in case Philadelphia is ever without their QB1, Jalen Hurts.
