Browns' Denzel Ward: Not doing team drills at minicamp
Ward (neck) did not participate in full team drills during the Browns' minicamp session Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
After missing voluntary OTAs, Ward is at least back in Cleveland's facility for mandatory minicamp. It's not clear at this point if his limitations are due to the neck injury he suffered during last year's season finale or if they're related to a contract dispute, but it's possible a new deal could be in Ward's near future regardless.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Production dips in 2025
Ward (neck) recorded 39 total tackles (29 solo) and nine passes defensed, including one interception, across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
The 28-year-old sustained a neck injury in the first quarter of Cleveland's season finale that sidelined him for the remainder of the game. Despite playing 47 more defensive snaps than he did in 2024, Ward saw declines in total tackles (49 to 39), passes defensed (19 to nine), interceptions (two to one) and forced fumbles (one to zero). Even so, the Ohio State product remained one of Cleveland's most productive corners, finishing with the second-most passes defensed on the team. Under contract through 2027, Ward will look to return to form as one of the NFL's top boundary cornerbacks ahead of next season.

Browns' Denzel Ward: DNP again Thursday
Ward (calf) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Ward has not practiced since sustaining a calf injury during the Browns' Week 14 loss to the Titans. If he hopes to suit up for Sunday's game against the Bills, he will liklely have to log participation of some kind in Friday's practice. If the starting cornerback is ultimately sidelined, Sam Webb will likely continue to see an increased snap share at cornerback for Sunday's contest.
