  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Joins active roster

    The Steelers signed Ward to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Giants, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Ward has joined the Steelers' active roster for the fourth consecutive week ahead of Monday night's contest. He's expected to add depth to a Steelers running back room missing Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) again in Week 8, while also likely contributing on special teams.

  • Jonathan Ward: Returns to practice squad

    Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Ward was elevated for the third straight week, recording an assisted tackle while playing 15 snaps on special teams. In order for the running back to join the game-day roster again this season, Pittsburgh will have to officially sign him to the active roster.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Elevated from practice squad

    Pittsburgh elevated Ward from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    It's the third and final time that the Steelers can elevate Ward from the practice squad, and they will have to sign the 27-year-old running back to the active roster next time if they wish to have him stick around. Ward has turned five carries into 22 yards across his two regular-season outings this year. With Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Ward will serve in a backup role with Aaron Shampklin behind the one-two punch of Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

  • Jonathan Ward: Back to practice squad

    Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday.

    Ward handled 10 percent of the snaps in the Week 6 win over the Steelers with Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out of the lineup, while Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren took on a bulk of the workload. Ward rushed three times for 13 yards and also played 11 special-teams snaps.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Elevated again for Week 6

    Ward was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

    This marks Ward's second elevation of the season -- he was first active Week 5, and he tallied two carries for nine yards on three offensive snaps versus Dallas while also logging 14 snaps on special teams. Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out for this Sunday's game against Las Vegas, but with Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Aaron Shampklin all slated to suit up, Ward isn't likely to see much work on offense.

  • Jonathan Ward: Bumped down to practice squad

    Ward reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday.

    Ward got his first action in Pittsburgh with Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out of action. The 26-year-old saw three snaps on offense but got two carries for a total of nine yards. If Warren and Patterson were to remain out in Week 6 against the Raiders, Ward would likely see another elevation to the active roster.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Elevated for Week 5

    Pittsburgh elevated Ward from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Ward didn't make the Steelers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 27-year-old running back opted to stick around on the practice squad. This will be his first elevation of the season, and he could see immediate work Sunday against the Cowboys due to Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) both being ruled out for that game. Ward will serve as the Steelers' No.3 running back behind Najee Harris and Aaron Shampklin.

  • Jonathan Ward: Joins Steelers' practice squad

    Ward signed with the Steelers' practice squad Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    The veteran running back out of Central Michigan fell short of making Pittsburgh's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but it appears he's agreed to join the team's practice squad. Ward appeared in eight regular-season games with the Titans last season, recording 11 rushing yards while also playing 91 special-teams snaps.

  • Jonathan Ward: Won't make 53-man roster

    Ward was cut by the Steelers on Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Ward spent the last two seasons with the Titans, playing in 11 regular-season games in that time, before joining Pittsburgh on a one-year contract in May. According the Saunders, the Steelers intend to sign Ward to their practice squad, if he doesn't find a deal elsewhere.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Leaves practice early

    Coach Mike Tomlin said Wednesday that Ward (hamstring) was injured at practice, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Ward managed to walk off the field under his own power, but his status now looks uncertain for Saturday's preseason game against the Bills. He's competing for a depth role in Pittsburgh's deep running back room.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Logs six carries in loss

    Ward rushed six times for 26 yards while securing his lone target for five yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to Houston.

    Ward spent the first three seasons of his career in Arizona before spending the last two years in Tennessee, but he's been mainly limited to work on special teams during his time in the NFL. Ward was decent on offense during Friday's preseason opener, but even if he makes the Steelers' 53-man roster this year, it seems unlikely that he'll see much offensive work since the team also has Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.

  • Steelers' Jonathan Ward: Inks one-year deal in Pittsburgh

    The Steelers signed Ward to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    Ward mainly played special teams across eight regular-season appearances with the Titans in 2023. He'll get a chance to compete for a similar role in Pittsburgh, where Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson stand above him on the backfield depth chart.

  • Titans' Jonathan Ward: Signs deal with Titans

    Ward signed with the Titans on Monday, Ben Arthur of Fox Sports reports.

    Ward will join Tennessee's 53-man roster ahead of Monday's game against the Dolphins. He'll be the team's No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears. Ward spent the previous three weeks on Tennessee's practice squad.

  • Jonathan Ward: Back with Tennessee

    Ward was signed to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Ward was waived by the team Saturday, but he's back just a few days later. The running back was with the active roster in Week 10, playing 15 special-teams snaps in the team's loss to the Buccaneers. He'll now wait for his next chance to join the Titans on gameday.

  • Jonathan Ward: Waived by Tennessee

    The Titans waived Ward on Saturday, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

    Ward was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay, and he played 15 special-teams snaps in that contest. The 26-year-old has recorded just three offensive snaps over three contests on the campaign, but he's been a fixture on special teams during that span. Ward could return to Tennessee's practice squad if he clear waivers.

  • Titans' Jonathan Ward: Signed to active roster

    The Titans signed Ward to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Instead of elevating Ward from the practice squad as they had done the previous two weeks, the Titans signed him off the practice squad. He has primarily contributed via special teams and figures to do so once again Sunday in Tampa Bay. He has seen the field for only three offensive snaps this season.

  • Jonathan Ward: Heads back to practice squad

    Ward reverted to the Titans' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Ward was elevated from the practice squad for the second week in a row ahead of Thursday's loss to the Steelers. However, he saw even less playing time than he did in Week 8, as he played just 12 snaps on special teams versus Pittsburgh. Ward will likely be the Titans' first option to move up to the active roster so long as running backs Hassan Haskins (undisclosed) and Julius Chestnut (hamstring) remain on IR; however, Ward is still unlikely to see significant playing time so long as Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears remain healthy.

  • Titans' Jonathan Ward: Gameday elevation Thursday

    The Titans elevated Ward from the practice squad Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    This is the second time Ward has been promoted from the practice squad since signing with the Titans on Oct. 24. He played 24 snaps on special teams and three on offense in Week 8 against the Falcons without recording a stat. Ward will likely retain that role Thursday night against the Steelers while providing backfield depth behind Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears if he's activated for the game.

  • Jonathan Ward: Reverts to practice squad

    Ward reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday.

    Ward saw time on both offense and special teams but failed to record any stats in Sunday's win against the Falcons. With the only two running backs on the Titans' active roster, Derrick Henry (ankle) and Tyjae Spears (ankle), both limited in practice Monday, Ward could be elevated again and see increased playing time versus the Steelers on Thursday if either Henry or Spears can't play.
