Cam Ward was a smashing success at Miami after transferring from Washington State, and perhaps John Mateer can do the same in Norman.

During Monday's practice, Ward threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The No. 1 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft subsequently tapped Simmons and hit his signature "Zombieland" celebration. The three-time Pro Bowler didn't appreciate that, so he shoved the QB, resulting in a brief fight between the offense and the defense.

On a more serious note, Ward is looking to better his footwork as the Titans prepare for Friday’s preseason finale against Minnesota at Nissan Stadium. The number one overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft is 7-for-15 (46.7 percent) in two preseason contests, with zero touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 71.3 percent NFL quarterback rating.
