Ian Rapoport confirmed best-case scenario in latest Cam Ward injury update

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward suffered a shoulder injury on the first offensive possession of Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ward was injured on a 7-yard touchdown run. Jaguars linebacker Foyesade Oluokun landed with his full body weight on the rookie signal-caller's shoulder.

Ward was in visible pain. He quickly retreated to the Titans' locker room for additional medical attention. He returned to the sideline wearing a sling over his shoulder and was replaced by Brandon Allen at quarterback.

The initial national report arrived from The Athletic's Jeff Howe, who claimed Ward suffered a grade three sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.
