Browns' Denzel Ward: Full participant Thursday
Ward (hip) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Zac Jackson of The Athleticreports.
It is unclear if Ward's limited participation in practice Wednesday had anything to do with a hip injury from October, but it appears to be insignificant as the 28-year-old is clear of an injury designation heading into Friday. Ward has not missed a game this season and recorded 34 tackles (27 solo), eight pass breakups and an interception heading into Week 14.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Dealing with hip issue again
Ward was limited in Wednesday's practice because of a hip injury.
Ward managed with a hip issue during much of October, but it didn't cause him to miss any games. It's not clear if his current injury is a recurrence of that problem. Regardless, Ward may not be dealing with a major issue given his ability to log a limited practice to begin the week, though a full session by the end of Friday may be needed for the veteran cornerback to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Back to practice Thursday
Ward (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Ward missed Wednesday's session with a migraine but appeared Thursday good to go. The starting cornerback should practice in full Friday as well and suit up for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Dealing with migraine
Ward (migraine) is not practicing Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward has appeared in all 11 of the Browns' games this season, recording 32 total tackles and eight passes defensed, including one interception. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Five tackles in loss
Ward recorded five total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Patriots.
Ward was able to match his season-high five stops that he recorded in Week 3 versus Green Bay. The cornerback has now compiled 25 total tackles (20 solo) and five passes defensed, including an interception, over eight contests this season.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Practices in full
Ward (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Ward was limited in practice due to a hip issue Wednesday, but it now appears he's ready to head into Sunday's road contest against the Patriots without carrying an injury designation. He's dealt with what seems to be a recurring hip issue since early October, though he managed to fade the injury report ahead of Cleveland's win over the Dolphins in Week 7.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Back on injury report
Ward was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Ward was on the Browns' injury report ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Steelers due to a hip injury. He faded the injury report for Week 7 against the Dolphins, but it appears his hip issue has flared up again, which limited his practice participation Wednesday. Ward will have two more cracks at logging a full practice to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road tilt against New England.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Full practice Thursday
Ward (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward was limited in practice Wednesday, but he now looks fully healthy and ready to rock for Sunday's road matchup against the Steelers. Barring any setbacks, expect Ward to handle his usual starting role versus Pittsburgh. Tyson Campbell, who the Browns acquired Thursday in a trade package that sent Greg Newsome (hamstring) to Jacksonville, figures to immediately join Ward as a top outside cornerback.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Working through hip injury
Ward was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward played every single defensive snap during the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Vikings, finishing with three tackles (two solo) and one pass defense. He appears to have picked up a hip injury in the process, but the veteran corner will likely play against the Steelers on Sunday unless he suffers a setback over the coming days. Ward has recorded 13 tackles (10 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the regular season.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Pick leads to points

Browns' Denzel Ward: Ready to rock
Ward (shoulder/toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward upgraded from a DNP at Wednesday's practice to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his injuries in time to face the Lions on Sunday. The Ohio State product has logged eight total tackles and two passes defended over Cleveland's first three games this season. He's expected to start opposite Greg Newsome as part of the Browns' top outside cornerback duo in Week 4.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Returns to practice Thursday
Ward (shoulder/toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Ward opened the week with a DNP, though he's been working through multiple injuries to start the season, so his limited session Thursday is likely a result of load management. He should avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road game against the Lions with a full practice Friday. Ward has eight tackles (six solo) and two pass defenses through the first three games of the regular season.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Sits out practice Wednesday
Ward (shoulder/toe) is not practicing Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward played 100 percent of snaps during Cleveland's win over the Packers in Week 3, but he's now sitting out practice due to a pair of injuries. He opened the prior practice week as limited due to shoulder and Achilles issues, so there's precedent for Ward's lack of practice reps simply being the result of load-management. Ward will have two more chances to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Lions.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Back for second half
Ward (cramps) has returned to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward briefly left in the first half due to cramping, but the veteran corner has been cleared to return for the start of the third quarter. Jarrick Bernard-Converse will return to a rotational role at outside corner behind Ward and Greg Newsome.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Will suit up at Baltimore
Ward (shoulder, Achilles) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Ward was limited by shoulder and Achilles issues during practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he practiced in full Friday and is on track to play in Week 2. He figures to spend a good chunk of his snaps trying to cover up Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins on the boundary Sunday.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Limited to open practice week
Ward was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to shoulder and Achilles issues, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Ward has been dealing with the shoulder issue since mid-August, but the Achilles injury is a new concern. However, the veteran cornerback logged 96 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps Week 1 versus Cincinnati and managed a limited practice session Wednesday, so he may be able to play through the issues. If he can't suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though, Cameron Mitchell may be pressed into a starting role.
