• Cardinals' Jonathan Ward: Jumps to active roster

  10/06/2020 •

  The Cardinals signed Ward off their practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Ward was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster both of the Cardinals' last two games, only for him to revert back to the practice squad afterward. Teams can only exercise this right two times with players, so Arizona is bringing Ward up to the active roster to serve as a regular on special teams. When it comes to offense, Ward likely needs an injury to one of Kenyan Drake or Chase Edmonds to get on the field otherwise.

  Ward reverted back to Arizona's practice squad Monday according to the NFL transaction log. Ward played 11 special-teams snaps and recorded an assisted tackle in Week 4 against the Panthers. It marked the second consecutive game that Ward was active, though if he is called back up from the practice squad, he must remain on the roster for the remainder of the campaign.

• Jonathan Ward: Reverts to practice squad

  Ward was reverted back to the practice squad Monday after playing 14 special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to the Lions, Mason Kern of SI.com reports. Teams can promote players from the practice squad and send them back down twice this season, and this was Ward's first reversion. The running back is buried deep down the depth chart, so he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense even if he gets called back up to the 53-man roster.

  Ward was added to Arizona's 53-man roster Saturday, Alex Weiner of SI.com reports. There's a good chance Ward still ends up inactive on game day against the Lions, as the Cardinals have the one-two punch of Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds, as well as seventh-rounder Eno Benjamin, on the roster at the running back position ahead of Ward.
