Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward has a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, and he said Monday that he does not need surgery for now as he heads into the offseason.
Ward, the No. 1 pick in last year’s NFL draft, had tests Monday after he exited Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville in the first quarter. He said the plan is to let the injury heal, but he doesn’t know what the timeline for recovery will be.
Ward was injured on the Titans’ first drive of the game when he landed awkwardly on his right shoulder as he dove into the end zone to cap off a 7-yard touchdown run to give the Titans an early 7-0 lead.
Ward, the only quarterback in the NFL to have taken all his team’s snaps through Week 17, was later seen on the sideline in the second half with his right arm in a sling. The rookie had played all 951 snaps on offense for the Titans up to the point he was injured.
