  • Grabs INT in finale

    Ward recorded six solo tackles, two defended passes and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Ward appeared in just 12 contests in 2019, having missed time due to a hamstring injury during the first half of the season. He concludes the campaign with 44 tackles (38 solo), 11 defended passes, two interceptions (one of which he returned for a touchdown) and one fumble recovery. The 2018 first-round pick is very likely to reprise his role as Cleveland's top cornerback in 2020.

  • Returns from ankle injury

    Ward (ankle) returned to Sunday's game at Arizona, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward exited during the first half due to the ankle injury, but it's apparently a minor issue since he is back on the field. The 22-year-old should resume working as the Browns' top cornerback.

  • Leaves with ankle injury

    Ward was forced out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with an ankle injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward recorded a solo tackle before departing and leaving Greedy Williams as the team's No. 1 cornerback. Both TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell figure to enjoy upticks in usage during Ward's absence.

  • Halts Bengals' early momentum

    Ward had five tackles, two passes defensed and a 61-yard interception return for a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Cleveland's sluggish offense got a lift from the defense Sunday, when Ward made his first interception of the season matter. After the Browns turned the ball over on their first two possessions, the Bengals were in position to take a two-score lead, but Ward turned the momentum back to the home team. An Andy Dalton pass went through the hands receiver of Auden Tate, and Ward took it to the house for Cleveland's first pick-six since October of 2017.

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Ward (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: After spending the last four games on the sidelines, Ward enjoyed a bye week and will be ready for a matchup against the Patriots on Sunday. Ward will be in charge of shutting down opponents' top receivers going forward. The Patriots just placed Josh Gordon on injured reserve, so Julian Edelman (chest), Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) will their top three wideouts in this matchup.

  • Won't play against Seahawks

    Ward (hamstring) is on the inactive list for the Week 6 matchup against Seattle.

    Analysis: This was the plan all along for Ward, who only saw the practice field on a limited basis this week. With a bye week on tap Week 7, there was no reason to rush the starting cornerback back to action. According to Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The FAN, T.J. Carrie will draw the start in his stead.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Ward (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, isn't expected to play, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Browns will likely be down both of their top two cornerbacks for another week, as Greedy Williams (hamstring) is also expected to be held out. Ward sat out the last three games but returned to practice as a limited participant this week.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Ward (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward sat out the last three games but returned to practice as a limited participant this week and has a chance to take the field in Week 6. The young cornerback's status remains up in the air, but the Browns could decide to express additional caution with the team's bye slated for next week.

  • Back at practice

    Ward (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward and Greedy Williams (hamstring) joined practice for the first time in three weeks. As long as the two can get through this week of practice without a setback, they have a good shot at playing Sunday versus the Seahawks. Of course, a full-speed practice would eliminate all concern.

  • Can't go Monday

    Ward (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Ward will now miss his third straight game due to a lingering hamstring injury. With Greedy Williams (hamstring) also sidelined, TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell will start at cornerback for the Browns once again.

  • Unlikely to play Monday

    Ward (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Monday's game versus the 49ers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward will likely join Greedy Williams (hamstring) on the sidelines for this prime-time outing. This will be the third straight game the duo misses. Even without their two starting corners, the Browns haven't allowed more than 254 passing yards in a game. In their place, TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell will continue to start at cornerback.

  • Carries questionable tag

    Ward (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the 49ers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward didn't participate in any practices this week, so it seems unlikely he's active at game time despite the questionable tag leaving the door open. No. 2 cornerback Greedy Williams (hamstring) has sat out every practice as well, so the Browns are likely preparing for T.J. Carrie and Terrance Mitchell to start Monday.

  • Remains sidelined

    Ward (hamstring) has yet to return to practice this week and is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Monday's matchup with the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Barring a weekend resurgence, Ward and fellow starting corner Greedy Williams (hamstring) appear likely to miss consecutive games. TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell would be in line to see increased workloads should either or both ultimately sit.

  • Still not practicing

    Ward (hamstring) is not practicing Thursday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward reportedly worked out on the side of the field. The second-year cornerback was held out of practice all last week and has already missed two consecutive games.

  • Officially inactive

    Ward (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

  • Longshot for Sunday

    Ward (hamstring) is not expected to suit up in Sunday's game against the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: This would be a huge blow to the Browns' secondary, considering he and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are both expected to be sidelined for the game. An official word will come when inactives are provided prior to kickoff, but if both he and Williams can't go, Terrance Mitchell and T.J. Carrie would be in line for starts.

    Ward (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward didn't participate in practice this week, but it appears as though he has a shot to suit up Sunday. Cleveland's secondary is fighting a multitude of injuries, with Morgan Burnett (quadriceps) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) also listed as questionable,. Therefore, Ward's presence would be a notable boon for the unit versus Baltimore.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Ward (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The Browns held Jared Goff and the Rams to their lowest point total (20) of the year in Week 2 without Ward, Greedy Williams (hamstring), Morgan Burnett (quadriceps) and Damarious Randall (concussion). Still, having the starting secondary back will be necessary to take on rising star Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Ward will look to get onto the practice field in some capacity by the end of the week in hopes of getting cleared for that contest.

  • Uncertain to return for Week 4

    Ward (hamstring) is uncertain to play in Week 4 against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward pulled a hamstring in practice late last week and wasn't available for the Browns' Week 3 loss to the Rams. Fellow starter Greedy Williams also pulled a hamstring in the same practice and he's also of uncertain status at present -- which is not good news ahead of a date with Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's offense. On the bright side, starting safety Damarious Randall is out of concussion protocol as of Tuesday, and he at least seems likely to suit up Sunday.

  • Inactive for Sunday

    Ward (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Rams.

    Analysis: The Browns' secondary is in rough shape with Ward, Greedy Williams (hamstring), Morgan Burnett (quadriceps) and Damarious Randall (concussion) all inactive. At corner, TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell will take over starter duties in place of Ward and Williams.

  • Likely to sit Sunday

    Ward (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The likely absence of the Browns' top cornerback comes at an unfortunate time with Cleveland facing a Rams passing attack that has often proven prolific during Sean McVay's tenure as head coach. With fellow cornerback Greedy Williams (hamstring) also listed as questionable, TJ Carrie and Terrance Mitchell are preparing to slot into the starting lineup if both Ward and Williams are sidelined.

    Analysis: Ward is nursing a hamstring injury of undisclosed severity, and his availability for Sunday's tilt against the Rams appears up in the air.

  • Hamstring injury surfaces

    Ward was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward was not listed on the injury report Wednesday, so his hamstring issue may have occurred during Thursday's practice.

  • Logs one sack in preseason loss

    Ward (undisclosed) recorded one sack in 19 defensive snaps during Friday's 13-12 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: As expected, Ward returned from an undisclosed injury and took reps with the first-team defense during the Browns' third preseason tilt. There isn't any doubt surrounding his Week 1 status at this point, so expect Ward to be at full strength when the Browns host the Titans on Sep. 8.

    Analysis: Ward suffered an undisclosed injury during practice two weeks ago, the severity of which has kept him out of preseason action thus far. The 2018 first-round pick looks on track to make his preseason debut Friday, and there doesn't appear to be any doubt about his Week 1 status.

  • Limited at practice

    Ward (undisclosed) practiced Thursday but was held out of team drills, Nate Ulrich of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward has been dealing with his injury for about a week and his limited participation is a solid sign for his recovery.

    Coach Freddie Kitchens said Wednesday that Ward (undisclosed) tweaked something during practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Ward picked up the injury, but Kitchens reiterated that he thinks Ward will be okay.

    Ward has been working to adjust his tackling technique during the offseason after suffering two concussions during his rookie campaign, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Ward missed three of the final four games last season, but he was cleared to participate in the Pro Bowl in January and suggested Wednesday that he hasn't suffered any setbacks. The 2018 first-round pick is locked and loaded as the Browns' No. 1 cornerback ahead of the 2019 season and improved health could help him top the stat line of 53 tackles, 11 pass breakups, three picks and one forced fumble he posted as a rookie.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Ward (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward missed two weeks with a concussion before returning in Week 16 versus the Bengals, and he suffered another concussion in that contest. Nevertheless, interim coach Gregg Williams said Ward is in better shape after this concussion than the first one. Still, the Browns aren't in the playoffs so playing Ward could risk further complications.

  • Could play Week 17

    Interim coach Gregg Williams said Ward is "much better this time around" following his second concussion of December, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ward missed two games after his first concussion, but the team is hopeful to have him back for the season finale against the Ravens in Week 17. The Browns are eliminated from the playoffs and don't have much reason to push Ward to play if he's not 100 percent ready. Despite that, Ward should be considered questionable with a decent chance to see the field versus Baltimore.

  • Back in concussion protocol

    Ward sustained a concussion during Sunday's 26-18 win over the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Ward suffered a concussion two weeks ago and now re-enters the league-mandated concussion protocol. The nature of such injuries could warrant the Browns to shut down the rookie first-round pick for their last game of the season versus the Ravens on Sunday, in which case Terrance Mitchell would slot into the starting lineup.

  • Dealing with possible concussion

    Ward is being evaluated for a potential concussion, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Ward suffered his first concussion two weeks ago, which raises some concern. The Browns' first-round pick will have to pass through the league's concussion protocol before he can return to game action. The development is something to keep an eye on over the next several days. For now, Terrance Mitchell will slide into the open corner slot opposite of TJ Carrie.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Ward (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: More importantly, Ward also cleared the concussion protocol, which paves the way for his return Week 16 against the Bengals. The rookie cornerback missed the last two games after suffering the concussion Dec. 2 against the Texans, and should resume his starting role opposite TJ Carrie at cornerback.

  • Practicing Wednesday

    Ward (concussion) retook the practice field Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward has missed each of the last two games due to injury, but his return to the practice field for the first session of the week Wednesday puts him on track to play in Week 16 versus the Bengals. The promising rookie owns 48 tackles (36 solo), three interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 12 games this season.

  • Officially ruled out

    Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Broncos, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward will miss a second straight game as he remains subject to the league's concussion protocol. Terrance Mitchell and Tavierre Thomas figure to fill in at cornerback next to starter TJ Carrie. Ward's next chance to return from his head injury will come in Week 16 against the Bengals.

  • Likely out Saturday

    Ward (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, making it unlikely he will play Saturday against the Broncos, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward proved worthy of his first-round selection early in the season, notching three interceptions in the first five games. He continued to serve as the Browns' starting top cornerback until the concussion sidelined him for the Week 14 win over the Panthers. Ward would likely need to clear multiple steps in the NFL's protocol for head injuries over the next two days to have a chance to play versus Denver.

  • Hopes to play Saturday

    Ward (concussion) has a chance to return to action for Saturday's Week 15 matchup with the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward sustained a concussion in Week 13 that held him out of the team's Week 14 win over Carolina. Ward should be considered questionable for Saturday's game for the time being, with his practice status during the week serving as a better indication of his ability to play.

  • Sidelined for Week 14

    Ward (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: After sustaining the head injury in the Week 13 loss to the Texans, Ward has yet to clear the NFL's five-step protocol for concussions and will thus be sidelined for the first time in his career. The rookie first-round pick has already established himself as the top cornerback in Cleveland, so his absence will represent good news for Carolina receiver D.J. Moore, who may have drawn shadow coverage from Ward throughout the day.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Ward (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Ward sustained the concussion Sunday against the Texans and -- as of Dec. 3 -- remains in the league's concussion protocol. The rookie has logged 48 tackles (36 solo) over 800 defensive snaps. The extent to which Ward practices -- or doesn't practice -- this week will help determine whether he will play Sunday against the Panthers. If Ward misses time, Phillip Gaines would likely see an increase in work.

  • Still in concussion protocol

    Ward remains in the concussion protocol Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Ward suffered a concussion during Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Texans, and he will need to fully clear the league-mandated concussion protocol before retaking the field. The rookie first-round pick's availability for Sunday's tilt against the Panthers is murky at best. If Ward were to miss any time, Phillip Gaines would benefit from an increased snap count.

  • Ready to go against Atlanta

    Ward (hip) is active Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Ward missed some practice time this week due to an injury suffered Week 9 against the Chiefs, but it won't prevent him from suiting up for the Week 10 matchup against Atlanta. He'll play a key role in Cleveland's attempt to slow down Julio Jones, as Ward is currently the team leader in interceptions (3) and passes defended (9).
