Top Channing Ward News

  • Channing Ward: Waived from NFI list

    The Buccaneers waived Ward (kneecap) from the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list with a non-football injury Wednesday, per NFL Communications.

    Ward sustained a patellar tendon tear while working out in Mississippi in July, which eventually resulted in his placement on the list. It appears the Bucs have decided to move on, making him free to sign with another club when healthy.

  • Buccaneers' Channing Ward: Placed on NFI list

    Ward (knee) was placed on the reserve Non-Football Injury list after clearing waivers, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Ward was waived with a knee injury on Wednesday and went unclaimed. He won't count against the Buccaneers' roster limit and will likely spend the season on injured reserve or be released with an injury settlement.

  • Channing Ward: Waived with injury designation

    The Buccaneers waived Ward (knee) with a non-football injury designation Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Ward tore a patellar tendon while working out in Mississippi last week, according to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times. The defensive lineman has already undergone surgery and is expected to need at least four months to recover. Should he clear waivers, Ward would then revert to Tampa Bay's injured reserve.

  • Buccaneers' Channing Ward: Promoted to Tampa Bay's roster

    The Buccaneers promoted Ward from the practice squad Tuesday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The Buccaneers played without All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (biceps) in Monday's 24-21 loss to the Falcons and lost defensive end Robert Ayers (neck/shoulder) midway through the contest, so the addition of Ward gives the team a fresh body along the line. Even if both McCoy and Ayers are sidelined for the Bucs' final two games of the season, don't expect Ward to be a major factor in the team's line rotation.

  • Buccaneers' Channing Ward: Healthy inactive vs. Panthers

    Ward (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Panthers.

    Ward was promoted from the practice squad Thursday, but he'll ultimately stay on the sidelines Sunday. His last action came in Week 9 against Atlanta, although he saw just four total snaps.

  • Buccaneers' Channing Ward: Returns to 53-man roster

    Ward was promoted from Tampa Bay's practice squad Thursday, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports.

    Ward was actually released by Tampa Bay in November but ultimately worked his way back to the 53-man roster due to the open spot left by Doug Martin (suspension). The undrafted free agent has only five total tackles on the season with his most recent tackle coming back in Week 5 against the Panthers.

  • Channing Ward: Released by Bucs

    Ward was released by the Buccaneers on Wednesday.
