From the article

He went 5-of-12 passing for 57 yards. He almost threw an interception across the middle but it was dropped. It might not have been a big deal — it was just a few drives in a preseason opener while running a new offense, after all — but it happening against the 49ers' backups isn't great. Especially after Ward's rookie struggles.

Ward's 5-of-12, 57-yard preseason outing against backups raises concerns after poor rookie year.

Ward's preseason opener against 49ers backups showed continued accuracy struggles; he went 5-of-12 for 57 yards, nearly threw an interception that was dropped, and looked indecisive at times. The source notes this is concerning given his poor rookie season (Titans ranked 31st in passing EPA per play and 31st in passing success rate), and while new coach Robert Saleh expressed confidence, the performance didn't inspire confidence heading into an important season where Ward must prove he can execute in a better environment with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and upgraded talent.
