Titans quarterback Cam Ward speaks highly of rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate, even after Tate has had limited production early on. In the preseason opener, Tate is held without a catch, and he also misses some practice time during the following week.
Despite the quiet start, Ward says he expects Tate to be a key factor in the offense’s success. One outlet focuses on Ward’s confidence in Tate’s impact, highlighting the praise despite the lack of a reception in the debut. Another outlet similarly centers on Ward’s comments, presenting them as evidence that the team views Tate’s skill set and potential as significant for what comes next.
Across the two reports, the shared points are Ward’s strong enthusiasm and the early-season context: Tate’s preseason debut does not produce catches, and he has a brief practice absence. The difference is mainly the emphasis—one report ties the comments directly to offensive success, while the other stresses the reaction to Tate’s preseason performance—but both attribute the assessment to Ward.
