Ward no longer has a questionable injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers after clearing concussion protocols. Ward suffered the sixth concussion of his NFL career during the Browns' Week 8 win over the Ravens. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he managed to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity. Despite not logging a full practice this week, Ward has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will be available for Sunday's contest. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Ward has tallied 15 tackles (13 solo) and 13 pass breakups.

Ward no longer has a questionable injury tag heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers after clearing concussion protocols. Ward suffered the sixth concussion of his NFL career during the Browns' Week 8 win over the Ravens. He opened the week with consecutive DNPs, but he managed to return to practice Friday in a limited capacity. Despite not logging a full practice this week, Ward has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols and will be available for Sunday's contest. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Ward has tallied 15 tackles (13 solo) and 13 pass breakups.
Ward (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Ward upgraded to a limited session Friday after logging back-to-back DNPs to begin the Browns' week of practice, giving himself a chance to suit up Sunday. The Ohio State product must still clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 9. If he's unable to do so, Cameron Mitchell will likely see increased work with the Browns' first-team secondary.
Ward (concussion) was listed as a DNP on the Browns' injury report Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Ward was diagnosed with a concussion following the Browns' Week 8 win over the Ravens. It was the second time he's been diagnosed with a concussion this season and the sixth time in his NFL career, though Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Wednesday that Ward is considered day-to-day. Even if Ward were to return to practice this week, it's no guarantee that he'll be able to pass the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Ward (concussion) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Despite Ward suffering his second concussion this season in Week 8 against the Ravens, it appears the Ohio State product may be making quick progress through the league's five-step protocols. His status for Week 9 though won't likely be known until closer to kickoff Sunday.
Ward was diagnosed with a concussion following the Browns' 29-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Ward has now suffered two concussions since the start of the season, and he's now been diagnosed with six concussions over the course of his NFL career. Given his history, Ward could face an uphill battle to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Browns' next game Sunday against the Chargers in Week 9.
Ward (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Ravens and is being evaluated for a concussion, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Ward will continue to be evaluated for a concussion, and if that is indeed the diagnosis, he could be in jeopardy of missing the Browns' Week 9 contest against the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 3. Cameron Mitchell and Mike Ford are candidates to see more snaps with the first-team defense for the rest of Sunday's game.
Ward (hamstring) is active Week 6 against the Eagles. Ward was knocked out of Week 5's matchup against the Commanders and only managed to log one limited practice this week, but he'll suit up nonetheless and be tasked with helping to keep a fully healthy Philadelphia receiving corps in check.
Ward (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Ward hurt his hamstring early in last week's game against the Commanders which he ended up being ruled out for, and he's now in jeopardy of missing another game. The cornerback's true status will be revealed Sunday morning before the Browns kickoff versus the Eagles.
Ward (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Ward picked up a hamstring issue during Sunday's game at Washington and was forced out early, and now his availability for Week 6 is in jeopardy. He'll likely have to practice on at least a limited basis Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play at Philadelphia.
