Jonathan Ward: Back with Baltimore on PS
Ward signed with the Ravens' practice squad Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
There wasn't enough room on the Ravens' 53-man roster for Ward, as Baltimore went with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali as the backup running backs behind Derrick Henry and placed rookie fifth-rounder Adam Randall (undisclosed) on injured reserve. Ward will stick around in Baltimore and would be a top candidate to be elevated to the main roster if the Ravens need more backfield depth. Ward last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Steelers, when he logged five carries for 22 yards across four games.

The Ravens released Ward on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ward ended last season on Baltimore's practice squad and returned to the team in mid-August. He played in two preseason games, rushing 17 times for 88 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for a 15-yard gain. According to Wilson, Ward could end up back on Baltimore's practice squad.

Ravens' Jonathan Ward: Returns to Baltimore
The Ravens signed Ward to a contract Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ward signed with the Ravens practice squad in early December of 2025 to bolster the team's depth after Justice Hill went down with a neck injury. The running back must be well-liked within the organization because he is back for round two, set to once again bolster the team's depth as they approach Saturday's preseason showdown with the Vikings.

The Ravens signed Ward to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After being cut from the Patriots' practice squad last Tuesday Nov. 25, Ward was quickly picked up by the Ravens. The veteran worked out with the team Monday and was promptly signed, likely to bolster depth in the running back room due to the untimely IR stint of Justice Hill (neck).

Jonathan Ward: Catches on with New England
The Patriots signed Ward to the practice squad Tuesday.
Ward was unable to make the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will get a new opportunity with the Patriots as a member of the practice squad. Terrell Jennings has been elevated by the Patriots to the active roster three times, which is the maximum amount a team can do. As such, Ward and Rushawn Baker would be candidates for a game-day elevation if the Patriots require added backfield depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Giants' Jonathan Ward: Shines as runner, receiver Thursday
Ward tallied 29 yards on six carries and caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in a 42-10 exhibition win against the Patriots on Thursday.
New York rested top back Tyrone Tracy and veteran backup Devin Singletary for the team's preseason finale, giving Ward a chance to get more reps. Ward did well with the opportunity, notching the team's longest run by a running back (13 yards) and averaging 4.8 YPC on his six rushes. He also scored a 41-yard receiving TD on a screen pass from Tommy DeVito late in the third quarter. With Tracy, Singletary, Cam Skattebo and Dante Miller all likely ahead of Ward on the Giants' RB depth chart, there doesn't seem to be room for the latter on the team's initial 53-man roster. However, Ward may have earned a spot on the Giants' practice squad with his solid performance Thursday.

Giants' Jonathan Ward: Latches on with Giants
Ward is signing with the Giants on Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The Giants liked what they saw from Ward in a workout Monday morning and wasted little time in adding him to the roster. The 27-year-old running back has appeared in 46 regular-season NFL games, including four with the Steelers in 2024, but has only 22 carries for 91 yards and six catches for 52 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in his career. Ward will provide depth in a banged-up backfield that's dealing with injuries to Cam Skattebo (hamstring), Eric Gray (undisclosed) and Rushawn Baker (knee).

The Steelers moved Ward between their practice squad, their active roster and free agency during last season, but for now he's back to being unrestricted.
