Ward (shoulder/toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Ward opened the week with a DNP, though he's been working through multiple injuries to start the season, so his limited session Thursday is likely a result of load management. He should avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road game against the Lions with a full practice Friday. Ward has eight tackles (six solo) and two pass defenses through the first three games of the regular season.
