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