Tennessee’s rookie class flashed in a 29-7 preseason loss to Tampa Bay, led by Cam Ward’s NFL debut in two series that ended with Titans’ lone score. Ward finished 5-for-8 for 67 yards, showing poise after a rough opening drive. Kalel Mullings paced the ground game with 7 carries for 33 yards, hinting at a future complementary role. Chimere Dike provided a spark in the return game and as a receiver, while Gunnar Helm moved into a reliable role behind Chig Okonkwo. Elic Ayomanor was limited, Femi Oladejo showed flashes, Xavier Restrepo went quiet, Cam Horsley anchored defensively alongside Isaiah Raikes, and Tim Boyle/Brandon Allen battled for QB depth.
