The Colts released Ward on Sunday.
Ward was a late addition to the Colts' training camp roster, and across his two preseason outings he recorded two catches for 16 yards. Should he clear waivers, Ward will look to link up with another team, likely on the practice squad in a depth wide receiver role. He last saw NFL action in 2021 with the Eagles.

Ward (ankle) remains sidelined Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Ward will miss another practice as he continues to work to recover from an ankle injury. The 28-year-old may be on the bubble regarding the team's final 53-man roster, so a return to practice with cut day looming would likely be beneficial to the Houston product.

Rotowire
The Eagles have placed Ward (toe) on their injured reserve, Chris McPherson of the team's official website reports.

Greg Ward: Expected to be waived/injured
Rotowire
Ward (toe) is anticipated to be waived with an injury designation by the Eagles on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Ward has been sidelined with a toe injury for much of this preseason, likely leading to his removal from Philadelphia's now deep corps of wideouts. The 27-year-old saw both his production (seven catches, 95 yards and three touchdowns) and playing time (234 offensive snaps) plummet in 2021 after he caught 81 passes for 673 yards and seven touchdowns over his first two seasons with the Eagles. Ward is now set to pass through waivers before shifting to injured reserve, should no team opt to claim him.

Rotowire
Ward (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.
Ward's toe injury has lingered through much of August, depriving the wide receiver of valuable practice time as he competes for a spot on the Eagles' roster. He's unlikely to suit up for Sunday's preseason game in Cleveland, though Ward hasn't officially been ruled out at this point.

Eagles' Greg Ward: Misses practice with toe injury
Rotowire
Ward has missed the last few days of practice with a toe injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.
There hasn't been any indication that Ward's injury is a severe one, but he can't afford to lose too much time as he battles for a roster spot in camp. After catching 53 passes in 2020, he hauled in just seven last year, and he's been pushed further down the wideout depth chart by the arrival of A.J. Brown.

Eagles' Greg Ward: Returning to Philadelphia
Rotowire
Ward agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Ward finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. The wideout aggravated a back injury during the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but he's expected to be good to go for the 2022 campaign.

Eagles' Greg Ward: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Ward (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers.
Ward was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a back issue, and it appears he aggravated it during Sunday's game. He wasn't targeted in the passing attack, so his absence is unlikely to change the Eagles' offensive game plan.
