News

  • Staying with Eagles

    The Eagles signed Ward to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

    Analysis: Ward will return to the Eagles' organization again in 2023, where he's spent the entirety of his NFL career. Ward reached an injury settlement with the team after suffering a toe injury in camp, but he joined Philadelphia's practice squad in October and remained there for the rest of the season.

  • Reverts to Philly's practice squad

    Ward reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Ward was elevated ahead of the Super Bowl, but he was ultimately inactive for the 38-35 loss to Kansas City. The 27-year-old wide receiver is set to hit free agency this offseason.

  • Inactive for Super Bowl

    Ward (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Chiefs, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward, who hasn't made any appearances this season, was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he'll ultimately not suit up for Super Bowl LVII. His elevation can be viewed as a reward for grinding it out on the practice squad all year.

  • Elevated from practice squad

    Ward was elevated to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Ward will now be eligible to play in the Super Bowl despite not appearing in a game all season. The 27-year-old should not be expected to play a big role on offense, but he could potentially serve as the punt returner if Britain Covey (hamstring) is unable to play.

  • Joins Philly's practice squad

    Philadelphia signed Ward to its practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Ward was set to miss the entire 2022 campaign after landing on IR at the end of August due to a toe injury, but he was waived with an injury settlement ahead of Week 1. Now that he's healthy, the 26-year-old will look to work his way back to Philadelphia's active roster via a practice-squad deal. Across his first three seasons (40 appearances), the undrafted wideout out of Houston has caught 88 passes for 778 yards and 10 touchdowns.

  • Reaches injury settlement

    The Eagles waived Ward (toe) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward was set to miss the remainder of the season after being placed on injured reserve, but he'll now be free to join a new team once fully healthy. The 26-year-old wideout caught 81 of 119 targets for 673 yards and seven touchdowns across his first 23 appearances, but he finished 2021 with just seven catches for 95 yards and three scores across 17 appearances.

  • Lands on IR

    The Eagles have placed Ward (toe) on their injured reserve, Chris McPherson of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Ward was originally expected to be waived with an injury settlement, but it looks like both parties were able to come to terms on one. So, he will spend the remainder of the season on the IR unless both parties ultimatley agree on one.

  • Expected to be waived/injured

    Ward (toe) is anticipated to be waived with an injury designation by the Eagles on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward has been sidelined with a toe injury for much of this preseason, likely leading to his removal from Philadelphia's now deep corps of wideouts. The 27-year-old saw both his production (seven catches, 95 yards and three touchdowns) and playing time (234 offensive snaps) plummet in 2021 after he caught 81 passes for 673 yards and seven touchdowns over his first two seasons with the Eagles. Ward is now set to pass through waivers before shifting to injured reserve, should no team opt to claim…read more

  • Still bothered by toe injury

    Ward (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Ward's toe injury has lingered through much of August, depriving the wide receiver of valuable practice time as he competes for a spot on the Eagles' roster. He's unlikely to suit up for Sunday's preseason game in Cleveland, though Ward hasn't officially been ruled out at this point.

  • Misses practice with toe injury

    Ward has missed the last few days of practice with a toe injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: There hasn't been any indication that Ward's injury is a severe one, but he can't afford to lose too much time as he battles for a roster spot in camp. After catching 53 passes in 2020, he hauled in just seven last year, and he's been pushed further down the wideout depth chart by the arrival of A.J. Brown.

  • Returning to Philadelphia

    Ward agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ward finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. The wideout aggravated a back injury during the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but he's expected to be good to go for the 2022 campaign.

  • Catches three touchdowns in 2021

    Ward (back) finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 appearances.

    Analysis: Ward was active for every game, but his production was spread out. He never saw more than three targets in a game and only recorded multiple targets on four occasions. His scoring production draws some intrigue, though. He recorded three touchdowns on six red-zone targets -- including three looks from inside the five. He's set to be a restricted free agent this season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the team he's spent his entire three-year career with.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Ward (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Ward was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a back issue, and it appears he aggravated it during Sunday's game. He wasn't targeted in the passing attack, so his absence is unlikely to change the Eagles' offensive game plan.

  • Gets full reps Thursday

    Ward (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The Eagles capped Ward's reps Wednesday while he managed his back issue, but his ability to practice fully Thursday suggests he'll be ready to go for Sunday's wild-card game in Tampa Bay. Ward is coming off a two-catch Week 18 outing in which he played a season-high 57 percent of the snaps in the Eagles' blowout loss to the Cowboys, but that was mostly a byproduct of head coach Nick Sirianni deliberately resting fellow receivers DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins for most of the second half of the…read more

  • Catches both targets in victory

    Ward caught each of his two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Football Team.

    Analysis: Ward made just one catch in the first half, but his 27-yarder on the opening drive of the third quarter set up Boston Scott's second touchdown just four plays later. After several weeks of single-digit snaps, the 26-year-old Ward's playing time has trended back upward in two of the last three weeks, as has his involvement in the offense. He could be on tap for even more work in Week 18 against the Cowboys since both teams are already assured of playoff spots and may rest their best players.

  • Finds paydirt in win

    Ward caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Tuesday's 27-17 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Ward hadn't recorded a catch since Week 4 but was suddenly a factor in this one. His 22 snaps on offense were the most he'd seen combined since Week 8.

  • Sees highest snap count of season

    Ward played a season-high 30 snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Ward saw more of the field thanks to ankle injuries to Jalen Reagor and to a lesser extent J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. Reagor isn't expected to need a long time to recover, but should he miss the Week 9 home matchup against the Chargers, Ward would likely get to line up as Philadelphia's third wide receiver.

  • Scores in garbage time

    Ward caught one of two targets for a 15-yard touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ward once again saw most of his action with the game already decided, as his touchdown was the last offensive play of the game for either side. His other target came in the first half, but the Houston product still saw just 21 snaps in this one and remains buried on the depth chart.

  • Targeted for first time this season

    Ward caught his only target for 15 yards in Monday's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ward made his first appearance in the box score this season thanks to garbage time, as there were three minutes left in the game when he finally drew a target. He has yet to play more than 21 snaps in any contest this season.

  • Still no targets in loss

    Ward was not targeted in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: On the bright side, Ward played 21 snaps on offense, up five from last week. It looks like it will take an injury to one of the Eagles' starting three receivers for him to become relevant in the offense again.

  • Cedes starting role to Watkins

    Ward is listed as the Eagles' backup slot receiver behind starter Quez Watkins on the team's unofficial depth chart ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Falcons.

    Analysis: Though he led all Philadelphia pass catchers with 53 receptions and six touchdowns in 2020, Ward finds himself without a starting role heading into Week 1 after the second-year Watkins surpassed him on the depth chart on the heels of an impressive training camp and preseason. The Eagles may have Ward rotate in with Watkins and play in four-wide formations, but it's clear the 26-year-old won't be handling the 70-plus-percent snap shares he frequently took on in 2020.

  • Likely to make roster

    Ward is likely to make the 53-man roster as the most experienced receiver in camp, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice reports.

    Analysis: Ward has been on the Eagles' active roster only for the past two seasons, but that is enough to make him their longest-tenured receiver, especially after you factor in his experience on the team's practice squad dating back to 2017. While his 53 catches on 79 targets led the club in 2020, the former college quarterback should take a back seat to DeVonta Smith and Jalen Reagor this season while working out of the slot. The 26-year-old can serve as a backup kick returner as well, adding to his…read more

  • Inks ERFA tender

    Ward signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Eagles on Monday.

    Analysis: Ward is now officially under contract with the Eagles, though there was never any doubt about that after the team extended him an ERFA tender in early March. He'll rejoin Philadelphia's receiving corps as a potential starter, in the mix alongside Travis Fulgham, John Hightower and Quez Watkins behind Jalen Reagor (head) as it currently stands.

  • Gets ERFA tender

    The Eagles tendered Ward as an exclusive rights free agent Monday, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Ward thus can only negotiate with the Eagles this offseason, which makes it seem very likely that he'll stay in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old was the only wideout to start all 16 games for the team in 2020, and he finished with the best stat line of his career (53-419-6). Philadelphia already has parted ways with DeSean Jackson and are expected to release Alshon Jeffrey in the near future, making it conceivable that Ward sees similar opportunities in 2021. Of course, there's always the…read more

  • Improves in second season

    Ward finished the 2020 season with 53 catches on 79 targets for 419 yards and six touchdowns.

    Analysis: At the beginning of the year, Ward seemed buried on the depth chart and headed for limited playing time, but by the end of it, he would be the only pass catcher on the team who played in all 16 games. If the Houston product didn't find the end zone, he didn't do much else, however, as he topped 45 yards receiving just twice all season. The 25-year-old is now an exclusive rights free agent, meaning the Eagles will keep him in 2021 as long as they offer him a contract.

  • Targeted three times in loss

    Ward caught two of his three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ward has found the end zone three times over the last four weeks, but he has not produced much when he doesn't score. The 25-year-old has topped 30 yards just once over the past six games, while Quez Watkins has been more productive recently despite playing fewer snaps.

  • Finds end zone twice vs. Cardinals

    Ward caught four of five targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Ward didn't generate much yardage with his receptions, but he wriggled free for a pair of red-zone scores to get his side back in the game in the second quarter. He generated just 20 yards on five targets in last week's win over the Saints, but his usage in the scoring area bodes well for his fantasy value, though he has the look of a rather touchdown-dependent option. Still, Ward has found the end zone six times this season and will look to add to his numbers in next Sunday's matchup with the…read more

  • Targeted five times in victory

    Ward caught two of his five targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: Ward continues to see healthy target totals. He has at least three in all but one game this season, and at least five in all but four outings. He hasn't converted the opportunities into yardage however, as he has topped 45 yards just twice all year, and the Eagles' change at quarterback to Jalen Hurts didn't spark Ward to break that pattern.

  • Finds end zone in defeat

    Ward caught three of his five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old's fourth touchdown of the season and first over his last five games was the first of Jalen Hurts' career and came in the fourth quarter. The 32-yard bomb helped get Ward to his highest yardage total since Week 3. He'll be tough to count on in Week 14 against the Saints.

  • Collects just one catch on MNF

    Ward secured one of his three targets for three yards during Monday's 23-17 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Philadelphia tight ends and backs accounted for 59.5 percent of the team's target share Monday night, while there was not a single Eagles wideout to break 16 receiving yards or tally a touchdown. The past three games with both Alshon Jeffery and Jalen Reagor active, Ward has managed just 17 receiving yards per contest with zero scores. Provided more ample opportunities Weeks 1 through 8, Ward accumulated 30.4 yards per game while chalking up three total touchdowns, but it might take another…read more

  • Held to nine yards in loss

    Ward caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Ward has at least three catches in eight games this year but has now been held to 10 or fewer yards in two of his past three outings. He has held onto the No. 3 receiver job so far despite the return of Alshon Jeffery, yet even prior to that, Ward had only topped 45 yards in a game once all season. The 25-year-old will need a big game in a prime matchup against Seattle in Week 12 if he wants to keep earning opportunities going forward.

  • Five catches in loss

    Ward caught five of his six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Ward has topped 40 yards just once this season, all the way back in Week 3. He does have three touchdowns on the year, but with most of the Eagles offense now healthy, there is a good chance his opportunities will be reduced going forward.

  • Limited to three catches Sunday

    Ward finished Sunday's 23-9 win over the Cowboys with three receptions for 10 yards on five targets.

    Analysis: Though the Eagles welcomed two of their injured pass catchers in Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dallas Goedert (lower leg/ankle) back to the lineup, their returns didn't affect Ward from a playing-time standpoint. Ward was on the field for 59 of the Eagles' 63 offensive snaps, but he couldn't take advantage of a suspect Cowboys secondary, as his 10 receiving yards were his second fewest of the season. Ward's situation isn't likely to improve in the second half of the season, as Alshon Jeffery (calf)…read more

  • Crosses goal line in win

    Ward hauled in five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown and returned one punt for 11 yards in the Eagles' 22-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The converted college quarterback turned in a strong effort as a possession option for Carson Wentz throughout the night. Ward checked in second in receptions and third in targets, and his three-yard scoring grab with 4:38 remaining began the comeback from a 21-10 deficit. The 25-year-old had seen his catch total dwindle from four to two between Weeks 5 and 6, so Thursday's resurgence was a welcome sight. However, depending on the statuses of Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (leg) for a…read more

  • Held to two catches

    Ward brought in two of three targets for 19 yards in the Eagles' 30-28 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ward saw the trio of Zach Ertz (ankle), Travis Fulgham and John Hightower outpace him in targets, leaving him as a complementary option during the loss. The 25-year-old had seen at least five targets in four of his first five contests heading into Week 6, so the reduced volume, especially with the Eagles still missing multiple members of their air attack, was especially disappointing. Ward will look to bounce back in a Thursday night Week 7 battle against the Giants, but there's a chance…read more

  • Finds end zone

    Ward recorded four receptions on five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Ward saw several fewer targets in comparison to recent weeks but still managed to haul in his second touchdown of the season on an eight-yard reception with six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Otherwise, he was surpassed by Travis Fulgham, who exploded for a 10-catch performance. With DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot/illness) nearing a return, Ward could be at risk of losing more targets in a Week 6 matchup against the Ravens.

  • Leads team in targets

    Ward caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over San Francisco.

    Analysis: With the majority of the Eagles' wideout corps sidelined, Ward became Carson Wentz's favorite target. Practice squad receiver Travis Fulgham caught the lone passing touchdown of the game, but Ward was clearly the top receiver while operating out of the slot. The former quarterback has PPR appeal heading into a matchup against the Steelers on Sunday after garnering 18 targets (12 receptions) over his previous two contests.

  • Only receiver on roster at practice

    Ward was the only Eagles receiver on the 53-man roster to practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: With DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Alshon Jeffery (foot), J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf), John Hightower (illness) all missing the session, the Eagles ran their offense with Ward, three practice squad players and Quez Watkins (upper body), who was just designated to return from IR on Tuesday. Even if Jackson is able to return despite not having practiced yet this week, Week 4 will still likely be another busy one for the 25-year-old Ward.

  • Huge day against Bengals

    Ward caught eight of a team-high 11 targets, producing 72 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-23 tie with the Bengals.

    Analysis: Ward collected just six total catches for 36 yards between Weeks 1 and 2, but the former college quarterback is not long removed from a notable stretch of fantasy production. Starting Week 14 of last year, Ward averaged 7.5 targets per game through the conclusion of the 2019 regular season, amassing 5.3 receptions and 52.3 receiving yards per contest as the Eagles won four straight to clinch a postseason berth.

    Analysis: After drawing seven targets in the opener, Ward saw just one look in this one despite getting the start. With Jalen Reagor healthy, the 25-year-old's role was due to diminish. It will likely tick back up again if there are any injuries to Reagor or DeSean Jackson, though Alshon Jeffery is likely to work his way back into the mix at some point.

  • Five catches in opener

    Ward caught five of his seven targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Although he didn't end up drawing the start, Ward was due to play a significant role with Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Jalen Reagor (shoulder) banged up. The 25-year-old did just that as he finished in a three-way tie for second on the team in targets. As has been the case for most of his career, most of those targets were short-range, as his longest of play of the day went for 11 yards.

  • Poised to begin year as starter

    The Eagles list Ward as their No. 3 receiver on the unofficial depth chart that was released Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Ward could be pushed down the depth chart once the Eagles get healthier at receiver, but with Jalen Reagor (upper body) highly unlikely to play and Alshon Jeffery (foot) looking iffy for Sunday's season opener versus Washington, the former University of Houston quarterback should be locked into a starting role to begin the season. Especially if Jeffery joins Reagor on the sideline Week 1, the Eagles will likely make heavy use of two-tight end sets featuring Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, but…read more

  • Competing for key role

    Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Ward is "in that starting mix" for the Eagles, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward was a pleasant surprise for the Eagles last December, averaging 52.4 yards, 7.5 targets and a 77 percent snap share over the final four games of the regular season. His role was born of necessity after the Philadelphia receiver group was crushed by injuries, but Ward quickly provided an argument that he should have been playing the slot ahead of Nelson Agholor all along. In any case, Agholor is now with the Raiders, and while the Eagles did add a few wideouts in the offseason, they've…read more

  • Looking good for roster spot

    Ward's roster spot should be secure, according to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com.

    Analysis: The Eagles drafted three wide receivers and traded for Marquise Goodwin, but they lost Nelson Agholor to the Raiders and have Alshon Jeffery rehabbing from major foot surgery. While Ward isn't likely to reprise his role from the final four weeks of last season -- three-quarters of offensive snaps and 7.5 targets per game -- he could enter training camp as the team's top slot man. Even if he loses that spot, Ward's familiarity with the Philadelphia offense and ability to field punts should…read more

  • Three catches in season-ending loss

    Ward secured three of four targets for 24 yards in the Eagles' 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ward had been the de facto leader of the wideout group over the final three games of the regular season, securing 17 of 21 targets for 175 yards and a touchdown in the absence of Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Nelson Agholor (knee). However, Ward could do no better than third on team in receiving yardage Sunday, although the absence of Carson Wentz (concussion) from the late first quarter on very likely had a part to play in his downturn in production. On the books for just $570,000 in 2020 -- and…read more

  • Grabs six passes

    Ward caught six of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Ward played 56 of 74 snaps on offense Sunday -- not bad for a former college quarterback who made his debut just over a month ago. The Eagles offense is a M.A.S.H. unit heading into the wild-card game against the Seahawks. Depending on the health of Zach Ertz (ribs), Nelson Agholor (knee) and Miles Sanders (ankle), Ward might end up being one of the most familiar faces Carson Wentz has to throw to as the playoffs begin. Ward's been clutch in limited opportunities, with at least four catches in…read more

  • Four grabs in win over Dallas

    Ward caught four of five targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: He added one carry for five yards. Ward was the Eagles' most productive wide receiver for the second straight game, and he seems to be earning Carson Wentz's trust with the team poised to win the NFC East and head into the postseason. Ward could be poised for another strong effort in Week 17 against a vulnerable Giants secondary.

  • Scores first touchdown of career

    Ward caught seven of nine targets for 61 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-27 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Ward served as the No. 1 receiver in Philadelphia during Week 15's divisional contest, with Nelson Agholor (knee) out and Alshon Jeffery (foot) on IR. The Houston product translated that opportunity into season-high numbers and the first score of his career. As long as Agholor remains sidelined, Ward figures to continue operating alongside tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert as the top three priorities in the Eagles' pass catching corps.

  • Could start in Week 15

    Ward could fill a starting role at receiver Sunday against the Redskins with Alshon Jeffery (foot) moving to injured reserve this week and Nelson Agholor (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Even if Ward doesn't technically start, he'll at least have a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Agholor (health permitting). Considering Agholor didn't practice Wednesday through Friday, he's most likely trending toward a second straight absence, which would leave Arcega-Whiteside, Ward and practice-squad addition Robert Davis as the only available receivers on the roster. While tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert will probably rank as the top…read more

  • Plays 77 snaps in win

    Ward caught four of his nine targets for 34 yards and played a season-high 77 offensive snaps in Monday night's 23-17 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: That Ward got so much playing time should come as no surprise considering he was one of only two healthy Eagles receivers after Alshon Jeffery left with a foot injury. Unfortunately, the former college quarterback wasn't able to do much with the second-highest target total on the team, but he was much more involved than J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, who only saw three chances. With Jeffery now out for the year, Ward's role could continue to grow over the final few games of the season.

  • Sees three targets in loss

    Ward caught one of his three targets for five yards in Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Ward saw a drop from seven targets the previous week with a healthier Eagles receiving corps. Still, he finished third among receivers with 29 snaps, two ahead of J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. The Eagles have another enticing matchup on deck with the Giants in Week 14.

  • Makes first career catches in loss

    Ward caught six of his seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ward caught his first NFL pass in the first quarter and would go on to see five more targets in the first half before disappearing in the second. He also handled punt returns but lost three yards on his only opportunity. If Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) are back for Week 13, Ward will likely head back to the practice squad.

  • Could have role on offense Sunday

    Ward is expected to see offensive snaps Sunday in the Eagles' game against the Seahawks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: With the Eagles down their top two wide receivers in Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee), Jordan Matthews, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Mack Hollins and Ward remain as the lone healthy options at the position. Ward, who was called up from the practice squad in light of the injuries, previously made his NFL debut in Week 3, playing two offensive snaps. Though Ward's snap count should increase a little in his return to the roster, Zangaro suggests the Eagles will likely make "a ton" of use…read more

  • Moving up to active roster

    Ward was promoted from the Eagles' practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Ward is expected to provide depth to an Eagles' receiving corps that sees all three of its projected starters -- Alshon Jeffery (ankle), Nelson Agholor (knee) and DeSean Jackson (abdomen) -- either on injured reserve or limited entering Sunday's Week 12 matchup.
