NASHVILLE – The Titans hit the field on Tuesday for their fifth day of organized team activities.
Today’s OTA was open to reporters.
Here’s a look at some observations from today’s session:
-The Titans worked on third down periods in both 7-on-7 and team periods, and the quarterbacks weren’t afraid to chuck it downfield.
-Quarterback Cam Ward got off to a slow start, completing just one of his first four passes in the 7-on-7 period. Ward then completed six straight passes, and he finished off the period 7-of-11. Ward was 3-of-4 in the first team period, and 2-of-6 in the second team period, making him 5-of-10 in the two team periods combined. Overall, Ward was 12-of-21 in the 7-on-7 and team periods combined on Tuesday, and in the two open OTAs combined he’s 23-of-38 overall in the 7-on-7 (15-21) and team (8-17) periods combined. Ward on Tuesday made some accurate tosses in the middle of the field, and he showed off his arm strength with some of the throws. One of his best throws was a strike to receiver Jha’Quan Jackson sprinting across the field. Ward missed receiver Calvin Ridley on a deep ball, but he was on target with a deep ball to receiver James Proche II on the very next play. Proche couldn’t haul in the catch, however, and punished himself with push-ups.
