Emergency crews responded within minutes, working rapidly to contain the blaze. Eleven individuals have been reported injured, including two rookie players and a stadium technician, all currently receiving treatment for burns and smoke-related injuries.

Titans top draft pick, quarterback Cam Ward, was present during the incident but escaped without harm. “It was terrifying—we heard the boom, then saw the flames. Everyone just ran,” he told reporters.
The Titans have suspended all rookie camp activities until further notice. Team officials expressed their thanks to first responders and stated that a full investigation is underway in collaboration with city safety inspectors.
