Browns' Denzel Ward: Still sitting out of practice
Ward (shoulder) will not participate at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ward was sidelined for Sunday's loss at Denver due to a shoulder injury, and he's now missing the Browns' first practice of the new week as he nurses that same issue. Unless he's able to get back to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably be out again in Week 13 at the Rams.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Unavailable Week 12
Ward (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
This news comes as no surprise after Cabot reported Thursday that Ward could face a multi-game absence. Martin Emerson is likely to draw the Week 12 start at cornerback versus Denver, while Ward's next chance to play will come Dec. 3 against the Rams.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Ward didn't participate in Cleveland's practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Ward suffered a shoulder injury during last week's win over the Steelers and could be in danger of missing extended time because of it. If the 2018 first-round pick is unable to play against the Broncos on Sunday, Martin Emerson should start at corner in his place.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Clears injury designation
Ward (neck) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Ward was unable to finish Sunday's win over the Ravens due to the injury, but it doesn't appear that it will carry into Week 11. Barring any setbacks, the Ohio State product will suit up against the Steelers.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Dealing with minor neck strain
Ward sustained a minor neck strain during Sunday's win at Baltimore, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
It's good news for the Browns and Ward, who presumably has a chance to suit back up in Week 11 after being forced out of Sunday's game early. Cleveland's injury reports over the week will shine some light on his potential availability for the Browns' home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Officially out
Ward (neck) will not return to Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
On the bright side, Ward cleared concussion protocol. However, his neck injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the game. As a result, Martin Emerson and Kahlef Hailassie will presumably continue seeing increased workloads.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Questionable to return
Ward is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a neck injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Although Ward cleared concussion protocol, he is still questionable to return due to a neck injury sustained in the first half of Sunday's game. In his absence, Martin Emerson and Kahlef Hailassie are candidates to fill in at corner opposite Greg Newsome.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Sparks TD drive
Ward had three tackles, two passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona in Week 9.
Cleveland had just taken a 3-0 lead when Ward jumped a slant route intended for Marquise Brown and picked off Clayton Tune on the Cardinals' side of the field. Eleven plays later, Deshaun Watson found Amari Cooper for the Browns' first touchdown. It was the second interception in three games for Ward, who limited Brown to four catches (eight targets) and 24 yards.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Gets first pick of season
Ward recorded four solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 39-38 win at Indianapolis.
Protecting a one-score lead in the middle of the third quarter, Ward was able to diagnose a Michael Pittman flag route and step in front of the pass for his first interception of the 2023 campaign. He figures to see a healthy dose of DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) if the latter is back in action when Cleveland travels to Seattle in Week 8.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Clears protocol, will play Week 1
Ward (concussion) isn't listed on Cleveland's injury report Friday, which means he has been cleared to play in Sunday's season opener against the Bengals, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network confirms that Ward has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. Ward had been in the protocol since Cleveland's preseason finale. The Pro Bowl cornerback will be integral to the Browns' attempts to slow down a high-flying Cincinnati passing attack that features wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Browns' Denzel Ward: Stuck in concussion protocol
Ward remains in the five-step concussion protocol and will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Nearly two weeks after Ward apparently sustained a concussion during Cleveland's preseason finale, Ward's status for the regular-season opener is still up in the air. If the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback can't go Week 1, Greg Newsome (groin) would serve as the Browns' presumed No. 1 corner as Cleveland looks to slow down Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
