The Steelers signed Ward to the practice squad Friday. Ward was signed to the Steelers' active roster Nov. 16, but he was waived by Pittsburgh on Wednesday after being a healthy scratch in each of the last three games. He'll stick around on the practice squad, though he's unlikely to be elevated to the active roster unless one of Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren or Cordarrelle Patterson miss time due to injury.

The Steelers waived Ward on Wednesday. The Central Michigan product was signed to Pittsburgh's active roster Nov. 16, but the team has now decided to move in a different direction. Ward appeared in four games for the Steelers this season, logging five carries for 22 yards over 69 total snaps (10 offensive and 59 on special teams).

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.

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.
