The Steelers cut Ward on Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Ward played primarily on special teams during his four games with Pittsburgh this season, though he did log five carries for 22 yards on offense. Since he was cut after the trade deadline, the veteran running back will be subject to waivers. The Steelers also cut safety Terrell Edmunds (illness) on Saturday while activating receiver Ben Skowronek (shoulder) and linebacker Tyler Matakevich (hamstring) from IR.

The Steelers signed Ward to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Giants, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Ward has joined the Steelers' active roster for the fourth consecutive week ahead of Monday night's contest. He's expected to add depth to a Steelers running back room missing Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) again in Week 8, while also likely contributing on special teams.

Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Ward was elevated for the third straight week, recording an assisted tackle while playing 15 snaps on special teams. In order for the running back to join the game-day roster again this season, Pittsburgh will have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday. Ward handled 10 percent of the snaps in the Week 6 win over the Steelers with Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out of the lineup, while Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren took on a bulk of the workload. Ward rushed three times for 13 yards and also played 11 special-teams snaps.

Ward was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to their active roster Saturday. This marks Ward's second elevation of the season -- he was first active Week 5, and he tallied two carries for nine yards on three offensive snaps versus Dallas while also logging 14 snaps on special teams. Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out for this Sunday's game against Las Vegas, but with Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Aaron Shampklin all slated to suit up, Ward isn't likely to see much work on offense.
