Cam Ward and Jeffrey Simmons sparked a spirited handshake-and-shove at Titans camp, a moment that underscored Tennessee’s emerging leadership and swagger as new voices push to the fore. The clash wasn’t chaos; it was a sign of competitive edge feeding the room, with Ward leading the charge and Simmons answering in kind. The scene sets a broader tone: the Titans want a sharper, more vocal identity to drive a young offense.

Rookie chatter followed, spotlighting Gunner Helm and Jackson Slater as value pieces who could leverage Ward’s style. Helm’s versatility and red-zone reliability pair well with Ward’s contested catches, while Slater’s guard versatility hints he may become a long-term starter, potentially unlocking Covington-style depth on the interior. Health notes and depth-chart questions—Cushenberry's return, running back concerns, and defense depth—frame a camp that’s more about upside than certainty.
