Titans QB Cam Ward says he's lost 10 pounds since last season

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A noticeably slimmer Cam Ward took the field for the Tennessee Titans' first OTAs practice that was open to the media on Thursday. The quarterback said he has lost approximately 10 pounds after weighing 219 pounds last season.

"I think it'll help me with durability," Ward said. "Just being faster, getting up in the pocket, and trying to play my speed. I watch my diet more, continue to have more cardio, just work on my body, just now here and when I'm away from the building."

Ward said getting leaner was one of his many goals for the offseason. The dietary changes mostly involve monitoring his intake of calories, protein and carbs.
