Ward has struggled through his first year as the Titans’ starting quarterback. However, it has turned out to be more about growing pains than talent on the pitch. The Titans selected him with the No. 1 overall pick this spring and got the starting nod after Will Levis had season-ending surgery in the offseason.
The Heisman Trophy winner has 1,760 passing yards, five touchdown passes and six interceptions. The Titans are 1-8 this season.
As for Jones, he’ll be joining a Ravens team that could use some extra defensive help.
Baltimore is 24th in points allowed and 27th in yards allowed this season. The Ravens moved to 3-5 with a win over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.
