Titans' Ward happy for 'more reps' in shaky preseason start

ATLANTA -- The second preseason game wasn't kind to rookie quarterback Cameron Ward and the Tennessee Titans' first-team offense Friday night. Ward finished the day having completed only two of his seven pass attempts for 42 yards against the Atlanta Falcons.

Titans coach Brian Callahan originally planned to have Ward play two series. But that plan changed after the offense struggled on the first two series.

"I wanted to send them back out there," Callahan said after the game. "I think just the play number was still low. Those penalties kind of knocked us out of some of those favorable down distances and we didn't convert third downs, and so we wanted to get them one more series because the play count was still relatively low, so I felt like it was good for him to go back out there.
