Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward left Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a right shoulder injury.
He left the game after scoring a running touchdown on Tennessee’s opening drive. He took a shot to his upper body as he crossed the goal line and went into the sideline medical tent after the play. He then walked to the locker room on the ensuing Jacksonville possession.

Ward did not return to the lineup for Tennessee’s next possession. His backup, Brandon Allen took over at quarterback. The Titans listed Ward as questionable to return with a shoulder injury. The No. 1 pick in April’s NFL Draft, Ward had previously played every offensive snap of Tennessee’s season.
While the 3-13 Titans entered Sunday having long been eliminated from the playoffs, the Jaguars had plenty at stake in Sunday’s game. With a win, the Jaguars would clinch the AFC South title over the Houston Texans. They also have an outside shot at securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They’d need to win and for the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots to both lose to do so.
