Slated to practice this week Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that he's "confident" Ward (calf) will practice this week, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Ward hasn't practiced since suffering a calf injury during the Week 11 win over the Eagles. The third-year cornerback is trending in the right direction, however, and the next step in his recovery is getting back to practice. Whether that translates into playing this Sunday against the Giants remains to be seen. Kevin Johnson will continue starting at cornerback until Ward is fully cleared.

Not expected to return Week 13 Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Ward (calf) is "unlikely" to play this Sunday against the Titans, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This lines up with Ward's initial diagnosis, which put him on track to sit out multiple weeks.

Kevin Johnson and Terrance Mitchell will need to overcome his absence once again against A.J. Brown and the Titans.
