Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Jacksonville due to a right shoulder injury.

Ward sustained the injury while being tackled on a 7-yard touchdown run to cap off the Titans' opening drive.

After being examined on the sideline, Ward walked to the locker room with members of the training staff for further examination.


Brandon Allen took the field to begin Tennessee's second series, marking the first missed snap of Ward's rookie season after he was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft.

Allen, 33, was selected by the Jaguars in the sixth round in 2016 NFL Draft. His last action came in 2024 with the San Francisco 49ers.

He's thrown for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 18 career games (10 starts).
