Jihad Ward Latest News
Two tackles in win
Ward had two total tackles in Sunday's win over Atlanta. He played on 31 of the defense's 74 snaps as helped fill a void with Pat Jones missing the game with a knee injury. Ward has a sack, seven tackles and recovered fumble while getting limited time as a reserve outside linebacker.
Finds new home
Ward signed a contract with the Vikings on Wednesday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Ward has spent the last two seasons with the Giants, including recording a career-high 5.0 sacks last season in 17 games. The veteran can play outside linebacker, as well as on the edge, and could bolster Minnesota's pass rush in 2024.
