Lands on COVID-19 list Ward (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Ward was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Thursday's contest against the Chargers with an illness. However, he was able to suit up for the game and notched a season-high 10 tackles. Now, the cornerback has to clear the league's health and safety protocols if he wants to play in Week 16. If he is unable to suit up, then Mike Hughes would likely see increased snaps in the slot.
