The Ravens signed Ward to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being cut from the Patriots' practice squad last Tuesday Nov. 25, Ward was quickly picked up by the Ravens. The veteran worked out with the team Monday and was promptly signed, likely to bolster depth in the running back room due to the untimely IR stint of Justice Hill (neck).

The Patriots cut Ward from the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ward spent the past two weeks with New England's practice squad, but now that Rhamondre Stevenson is back healthy, Ward will look for work elsewhere.

The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ward was cut from New England's practice squad last week, but with Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) banged up, Ward is back to provide some depth at running back.

New England released Ward from its practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding transaction, the Patriots signed wide receiver Brenden Rice to their practice squad. Ward's stint with the team lasted just one week, and now he'll have to start seeking another opportunity elsewhere.

The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ward was unable to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will get a new opportunity with the Patriots as a member of the practice squad. Terrell Jennings has been elevated by the Patriots to the active roster three times, which is the maximum amount a team can do. As such, Ward and Rushawn Baker would be candidates for a gameday elevation if the Patriots require added backfield depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Ward tallied 29 yards on six carries and caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in a 42-10 exhibition win against the Patriots on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
New York rested top back Tyrone Tracy and veteran backup Devin Singletary for the team's preseason finale, giving Ward a chance to get more reps. Ward did well with the opportunity, notching the team's longest run by a running back (13 yards) and averaging 4.8 YPC on his six rushes. He also scored a 41-yard receiving TD on a screen pass from Tommy DeVito late in the third quarter. With Tracy, Singletary, Cam Skattebo and Dante Miller all likely ahead of Ward on the Giants' RB depth chart, there doesn't seem to be room for the latter on the team's initial 53-man roster. However, Ward may have earned a spot on the Giants' practice squad with his solid performance Thursday.

Ward is signing with the Giants on Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants liked what they saw from Ward in a workout Monday morning and wasted little time in adding him to the roster. The 27-year-old running back has appeared in 46 regular-season NFL games, including four with the Steelers in 2024, but has only 22 carries for 91 yards and six catches for 52 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in his career. Ward will provide depth in a banged-up backfield that's dealing with injuries to Cam Skattebo (hamstring), Eric Gray (undisclosed) and Rushawn Baker (knee).

Pittsburgh released Ward on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Steelers moved Ward between their practice squad, their active roster and free agency during last season, but for now he's back to being unrestricted. With his departure, Trey Sermon, Cordarrelle Patterson and Evan Hull might see their odds of making Pittsburgh's final 53-man roster tick up slightly.

Ward signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ward initially joined Pittsburgh's practice squad at the end of August after not being able to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. The 27-year-old then shuttled between the active roster, practice squad, and free agency. He ultimately appeared in four regular-season games for the Steelers this season, finishing with five carries for 22 yards.
