Another ex-Giant finds new home with Titans after sudden retirement

We’re barely 48 hours into training camp, and already the Tennessee Titans have hit the panic button. After Lorenzo Carter abruptly retired before even taking a snap, the team wasted little time filling the hole by signing another former New York Giants journeyman familiar with the bottom of the depth chart.

Former G-Men linebacker Jihad Ward is officially headed to Nashville, as reported by Jordan Schultz.

Ward appeared in all 17 games for the Vikings last season, but the production was minimal—just one sack and ten tackles, with a run defense grade that left plenty to be desired.
