Tennessee coach Robert Saleh said Cam Ward remains the Titans' starting quarterback after Sunday's 26-3 loss to Houston, per multiple outlets. Saleh told reporters the team will give Ward "every opportunity to be successful" despite the quarterback's limited progress in his second year, ESPN reported.
The loss dropped Tennessee to 0-5, three weeks into the season. The Titans have lost four straight, including a 24-18 defeat at Baltimore on October 4 and a 12-7 loss at New York Giants on September 27. Only a first-quarter field goal offered any offensive glimpse in Sunday's home game against Houston before the afternoon collapsed entirely.
Ward has completed 75 of 119 passes for 726 yards through four games, a 63.0 completion percentage that averages 6.1 yards per attempt. The specifics of his performance have not been detailed in the available reporting, but Saleh's public backing suggests the organization is not looking to make an immediate change at quarterback despite the offensive struggles.
Tennessee sits third in the AFC South, three games into what has become a historic start to the season. The Titans host Indianapolis on October 18.
