8 scores Preseason Week 1: Cam Ward and the Titans Visit a Banged-Up 49ers Roster
Read the full recap →The Tennessee Titans travel to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, August 13. Cam Ward, coming off a breakout rookie season, is expected to play as Tennessee's clear starter, throwing to standout rookie receiver Carnell Tate. San Francisco enters the week thin, with roughly 20 of its 90 roster players out and soreness concerns for Nick Bosa, Dre Greenlaw and Osa Odighizuwa, plus new injuries to rookie lineman Carver Willis, fullback Kyle Juszczyk and receiver Jacob Cowing.
Ward continues to build on a strong rookie year
As the Titans' unquestioned starter, Ward gets another live look with Tate developing as a key target, while Mitchell Trubisky and Will Levis continue competing for the backup job behind him.
49ers dealing with real camp attrition
A roster already down roughly 20 players is now also managing soreness for several defensive starters and a handful of fresh, if minor, injuries across the offense.
Depth disadvantage could show up on the field
With so many bodies unavailable, San Francisco's ability to field a competitive unit around its own backups is more in question than usual for this point in preseason.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 23-17 (Titans vs 49ers), final was 19-13. Tennessee won 19-13 as projected, with San Francisco's roster attrition playing out roughly as expected.
Titans 49ers Ward playing as a clear starter is a real advantage
Having its top quarterback in the game gives Tennessee more offensive continuity than a 49ers team relying heavily on backups and shorthanded position groups.
San Francisco's roster attrition is significant
Nearly a quarter of the 90-man roster being unavailable, on top of soreness for key defenders, makes it harder for the 49ers to field their best possible group even in a preseason context.
Titans' backup competition adds only modest uncertainty
Trubisky and Levis rotating in relief of Ward is a normal, lower-risk wrinkle compared to San Francisco's broader depth concerns.
This is a preseason exhibition, but San Francisco's unusually thin availability this week pushes the projection's confidence higher than a typical Preseason Week 1 game.
