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.

Ward (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The Eagles capped Ward's reps Wednesday while he managed his back issue, but his ability to practice fully Thursday suggests he'll be ready to go for Sunday's wild-card game in Tampa Bay. Ward is coming off a two-catch Week 18 outing in which he played a season-high 57 percent of the snaps in the Eagles' blowout loss to the Cowboys, but that was mostly a byproduct of head coach Nick Sirianni deliberately resting fellow receivers DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins for most of the second half of the regular-season finale. As such, Ward will likely be in line for a steep drop in playing time for the playoff opener.

Ward caught each of his two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Football Team. Ward made just one catch in the first half, but his 27-yarder on the opening drive of the third quarter set up Boston Scott's second touchdown just four plays later. After several weeks of single-digit snaps, the 26-year-old Ward's playing time has trended back upward in two of the last three weeks, as has his involvement in the offense. He could be on tap for even more work in Week 18 against the Cowboys since both teams are already assured of playoff spots and may rest their best players.

Ward caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Tuesday's 27-17 win over Washington. Ward hadn't recorded a catch since Week 4 but was suddenly a factor in this one. His 22 snaps on offense were the most he'd seen combined since Week 8.
-
Ward played a season-high 30 snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions. Ward saw more of the field thanks to ankle injuries to Jalen Reagor and to a lesser extent J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. Reagor isn't expected to need a long time to recover, but should he miss the Week 9 home matchup against the Chargers, Ward would likely get to line up as Philadelphia's third wide receiver.
