News

  • Let go Tuesday

    Ward (hamstring) was waived from injured reserve by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ward was placed on IR on Oct. 12 after suffering a hamstring injury in a Week 5 loss to the Cardinals. Pelissero notes that Ward is fully healthy now and could play if anyone decides to claim him or call after he clears waivers.

  • Placed on IR

    Ward (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Ward exited the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Eagles early with a hamstring injury and he will now miss a minimum of four weeks while on IR. The Cardinals added both Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams to their practice squad, providing additional depth behind James Conner (ribs) and Eno Benjamin heading into Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

  • Ruled out for game

    Ward won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a hamstring injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game in the second half, although the extent of his injury isn't yet clear. His next chance to play will be next Sunday against the Seahawks.

  • No injury designation for Week 1

    Ward (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Chiefs, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was limited Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full practice Friday and will be good to go for Week 1. The third-year running back has appeared in 27 games over the last two seasons, but he's operated primarily on special teams.

  • Close to 100 percent

    Ward (shoulder) practiced Monday and is close to 100 percent, Jose M. Romero of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Ward sustained a shoulder injury during the Cardinals' second preseason game in mid-August, and he's been considered day-to-day recently. It's not yet clear whether he faced any limitations during Monday's practice session, but it seems like he has a chance to be back to full health in time for the Cardinals' Week 1 matchup against Kansas City on Sunday.

  • Remains day-to-day

    Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday that Ward (shoulder) remains day-to-day, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Ward injured his shoulder during Arizona's second exhibition game, which he finished with 128 all-purpose yards, and didn't suit up for the preseason finale. However, he still made the team's 53-man roster, suggesting the shoulder issue isn't too serious. The third-year pro has appeared in 27 games over the past two seasons in Arizona, playing mostly on special teams.

  • Hurts shoulder Sunday

    Ward (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's preseason game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Ward was busy before getting hurt, rushing three times for 11 yards while adding a 27-yard catch and returning three kickoffs for 90 yards. His ability to contribute on both offense and special teams has Ward in contention for a roster spot, though this injury could put a dent in those hopes. The 24-year-old running back will try to heal up in time for Saturday's preseason finale in Tennessee.

  • Scores two TDs in preseason action

    Ward carried the ball six times for 15 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for 26 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The third-year player out of Central Michigan was the second running back into the game for Arizona after Eno Benjamin, and Ward made the most of his opportunity by scoring a pair of one-yard TDs in the second quarter. His work on special teams could ensure he has a spot on the 53-man roster, but Ward's role on offense will likely be minimal as he seems to be at best No. 5 on the depth chart behind James Conner, Darrel Williams, Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram.

  • Signs tender Monday

    Ward signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward's work at running back has been limited during his first two seasons in the NFL -- nine carries for 33 yards and three catches for 34 yards -- but that could change in 2022 with the departure of Chase Edmonds. Currently, the Cardinals have James Conner, Eno Benjamin and Jaylen Samuels under contract, but they've been rumored to be interested in Darrel Williams and could possibly use the draft to bolster their backfield depth as well.

  • Contract tender extended

    The Cardinals have extended a one-year contract tender to Ward.

    Analysis: With that, Ward, who was poised to become an exclusive rights free agent, is now on track to remain a depth piece in the team's 2022 backfield. Who the 24-year-old will be working behind, however, remains to be seen, with both James Conner and Chase Edmonds both pending unrestricted free agents.

  • Out Monday

    Ward (knee) is inactive Monday against the Rams. Darren Urban of the Cardinals official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was able to log a limited practice Saturday after sitting out Thursday and Friday, but he's still unable to suit up. With James Conner (ribs) and Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) both active and Eno Benjamin also available, Ward's absence shouldn't have an impact on the Cardinals offense.

  • Listed as questionable

    Ward (knee) is questionable for Monday's wild-card matchup against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward was held out of practice Thursday and Friday, but he returned in a limited capacity Saturday. Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) isn't on the injury report for Monday's contest, so Ward is unlikely to see significant work against the Rams, even if James Conner (ribs) is held out.

  • Yet to practice this week

    Ward (knee) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Monday against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was injured in Week 18 against the Seahawks and has yet to practice this week. With James Conner (ribs) and Chase Edmonds (ribs) also questionable, the Cardinals' backfield is banged up going into Monday's matchup with the Rams.

  • DNP on Thursday

    Ward (knee) did not practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The running back was unavailable for Thursday's practice after being considered day-to-day Wednesday. Ward is dealing with a knee issue and his status at Friday's practice will provide more clarity to his chances to play Monday against the Rams.

    Published: Thu, Jan 13 at 3:08pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Considered day-to-day

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Ward (knee) is considered day-to-day, Dana Scott of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: Ward's status for the wild-card matchup with the Rams wouldn't mean much by itself, but it's big news given the Cardinals' two primary running backs -- James Conner (ribs/heel) and Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) -- are both considered day-to-day as well. However, Kingsbury did add that all three will be tested during Thursday's practice, which should give a better indication of their statuses' for Monday.

  • Questionable to return

    Ward (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Ward was banged up in the second half of Sunday's matchup. Since James Conner (ribs) is also questionable to return, Eno Benjamin should see an uptick in usage out of the backfield.

  • Will play Monday

    Ward was cleared of all injury designations Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward originally suffered a concussion Nov. 19 against the Seahawks, then was placed on the COVID list on Nov. 30 while still recovering from the concussion. He cleared COVID protocols Thursday and returned to both the active roster and practice field. After getting in a full practice Saturday, Ward will suit up Monday against the Rams. He should file in behind James Conner and Eno Benjamin on the running back positional depth chart.

  • Back from COVID list

    Ward (concussion) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Ward landed on the COVID list in late November but has now cleared the health and safety protocols. He hasn't seen the field since Week 8 after suffering a concussion but should be available for Arizona this weekend.

  • Lands on COVID list

    The Cardinals have placed Ward (concussion) on their reserve/COVID-19 list, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion in Week 8. The Cardinals are coming off a bye week, and it is unclear if he was nearing a potential return on that front. Regardless, he will now be sidelined at least until he can clear the league's COVID protocols. As a result, James Conner and Eno Benjamin remain the team's only healthy backs.

  • Remains out Sunday

    Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward will be sidelined for a third consecutive game after he sustained a concussion in Week 8. He'll have additional time to recover during Arizona's Week 12 bye.

  • Ruled out for Week 10

    Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was recorded as a non-participant during every practice leading up to Week 10, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out for Sunday's contest. With Ward and Chase Edmonds (ankle) both sidelined, Eno Benjamin will likely operate as the primary backup to James Conner.

  • Does side work Thursday

    Ward (concussion) participated in work off to the side during Thursday's practice session, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, so it's encouraging to see him partake in some light activities as he deals with a concussion. However, Eno Benjamin should see increased work Sunday against the Panthers if Ward is unable to suit up.

  • No activity Wednesday

    Ward (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward took a knee to the helmet while making a tackle on kick coverage in the Cardinals' Week 8 loss to the Packers. He remained still on the turf and required a backboard and cart to get to the locker room, where he was diagnosed with a concussion. The backfield is expected to be without Chase Edmonds for multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, so Ward could get into the mix if he can make his way through the protocol for head injuries. However, Ward has made no noticeable progress in his…read more

  • Out for Sunday

    Ward (concussion) will not play Sunday against the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward sustained the concussion in the Cardinals' loss to Green Bay in Week 8, and he hasn't been able to practice all week. Ward primarily contributes on special teams and will try to clear protocols in time for the Cardinals' Week 10 matchup with Carolina.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Ward (concussion) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward sustained a concussion in last week's loss to Green Bay and has been held out of practice for two consecutive days. He'll likely need to return to the field in some capacity Friday if he hopes to play in Week 9.

  • Absent from practice Wednesday

    Ward (concussion) is not practicing Wednesday, Howard Balzer of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward will need to fully clear the league's concussion protocol before returning to game action, making his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers still uncertain. Through the first eight weeks of the season, Ward has primarily contributed on special teams.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    Ward exited Thursday's game against the Packers and is being evaluated for a concussion, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward endured a scary collision while making a tackle on a kickoff late in the third quarter. He was on the field for a lengthy period and was ultimately carted off the field on a backboard. He reportedly has movement in all of his extremities, but the extent of his injuries are otherwise unknown.

  • Returns from injury

    Ward (ankle) carried the ball three times for 17 yards and also caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ward injured his ankle after a healthy workload in the opening preseason matchup against the Cowboys, but the rotational back was able to make a return Friday. The 23-year-old is in a tight competition with 2020 seventh-round pick, Eno Benjamin, for the No. 3 job behind committee-combo Chase Edmonds and James Conner.

  • Sustains ankle injury

    Ward won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Cowboys due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure, he notched six carries for 21 yards and three catches (on four targets) for 13 yards as the second RB in the game after Chase Edmonds. As an undrafted rookie last season, Ward was active for 14 games, as opposed to none for 2020 seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin. Ward's adeptness on special teams was the primary reason, and he ended up getting only one touch (a reception) Week 17. Ahead of the coming campaign, he may be the leader for the No. 3 role for that very reason, but…read more

  • Jumps to active roster

    The Cardinals signed Ward off their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster both of the Cardinals' last two games, only for him to revert back to the practice squad afterward. Teams can only exercise this right two times with players, so Arizona is bringing Ward up to the active roster to serve as a regular on special teams. When it comes to offense, Ward likely needs an injury to one of Kenyan Drake or Chase Edmonds to get on the field otherwise.

  • Back to practice squad

    Ward reverted back to Arizona's practice squad Monday according to the NFL transaction log.

    Analysis: Ward played 11 special-teams snaps and recorded an assisted tackle in Week 4 against the Panthers. It marked the second consecutive game that Ward was active, though if he is called back up from the practice squad, he must remain on the roster for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Jumps to active roster

    The Cardinals elevated Ward to the active roster Saturday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

    Analysis: For a second straight week, Ward has bumped up from the practice squad. He played exclusively on special teams Week 3 and likely will handle a similar workload Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Ward was reverted back to the practice squad Monday after playing 14 special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to the Lions, Mason Kern of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Teams can promote players from the practice squad and send them back down twice this season, and this was Ward's first reversion. The running back is buried deep down the depth chart, so he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense even if he gets called back up to the 53-man roster.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Added to roster before Week 3 game

    Ward was added to Arizona's 53-man roster Saturday, Alex Weiner of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: There's a good chance Ward still ends up inactive on game day against the Lions, as the Cardinals have the one-two punch of Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds, as well as seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin, on the roster at the running back position ahead of Ward.

  • Gets chance on practice squad

    The Cardinals signed Ward to the practice squad Sunday, Tadd Haislop of SportingNews.com reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan spent the offseason in Arizona. Though he wasn't able to carve out a spot on the initial regular-season roster, he could end up being called upon as an emergency option down the road.
