Greg Ward - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Jettisoned by Indianapolis The Colts released Ward on Sunday.

Impact Ward was a late addition to the Colts' training camp roster, and across his two preseason outings he recorded two catches for 16 yards. Should he clear waivers, Ward will look to link up with another team, likely on the practice squad in a depth wide receiver role. He last saw NFL action in 2021 with the Eagles.

Finds new home Ward signed a contract with the Colts on Wednesday.

Impact Ward has been a regular member of the Eagles' organization for the past five seasons, including as a member of the practice squad for the last two. The Houston product last suited up in 2021, where he appeared in 17 regular-season games, making seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns.

Loses spot Ward was cut from the Eagles' practice squad Thursday.

Staying with Eagles The Eagles signed Ward to a reserve/future contract Thursday.

Impact Ward will return to the Eagles' organization again in 2023, where he's spent the entirety of his NFL career. Ward reached an injury settlement with the team after suffering a toe injury in camp, but he joined Philadelphia's practice squad in October and remained there for the rest of the season.

Reverts to Philly's practice squad Ward reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Ward was elevated ahead of the Super Bowl, but he was ultimately inactive for the 38-35 loss to Kansas City. The 27-year-old wide receiver is set to hit free agency this offseason.

Inactive for Super Bowl Ward (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the Chiefs, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ward, who hasn't made any appearances this season, was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he'll ultimately not suit up for Super Bowl LVII. His elevation can be viewed as a reward for grinding it out on the practice squad all year.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad Ward was elevated to the active roster Saturday.

Impact Ward will now be eligible to play in the Super Bowl despite not appearing in a game all season. The 27-year-old should not be expected to play a big role on offense, but he could potentially serve as the punt returner if Britain Covey (hamstring) is unable to play.

Joins Philly's practice squad Philadelphia signed Ward to its practice squad Monday.

Impact Ward was set to miss the entire 2022 campaign after landing on IR at the end of August due to a toe injury, but he was waived with an injury settlement ahead of Week 1. Now that he's healthy, the 26-year-old will look to work his way back to Philadelphia's active roster via a practice-squad deal. Across his first three seasons (40 appearances), the undrafted wideout out of Houston has caught 88 passes for 778 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Still bothered by toe injury Ward (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.

Impact Ward's toe injury has lingered through much of August, depriving the wide receiver of valuable practice time as he competes for a spot on the Eagles' roster. He's unlikely to suit up for Sunday's preseason game in Cleveland, though Ward hasn't officially been ruled out at this point.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with toe injury Ward has missed the last few days of practice with a toe injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

Impact There hasn't been any indication that Ward's injury is a severe one, but he can't afford to lose too much time as he battles for a roster spot in camp. After catching 53 passes in 2020, he hauled in just seven last year, and he's been pushed further down the wideout depth chart by the arrival of A.J. Brown.

AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to Philadelphia Ward agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ward finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. The wideout aggravated a back injury during the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but he's expected to be good to go for the 2022 campaign.

Catches three touchdowns in 2021 Ward (back) finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 appearances.

Impact Ward was active for every game, but his production was spread out. He never saw more than three targets in a game and only recorded multiple targets on four occasions. His scoring production draws some intrigue, though. He recorded three touchdowns on six red-zone targets -- including three looks from inside the five. He's set to be a restricted free agent this season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the team he's spent his entire three-year career with.

Won't return Sunday Ward (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets full reps Thursday Ward (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Greg Ward epitomizes the Eagles' team-first mentality His role isn't as expansive as last year, but the wide receiver has been a reliable presence both on and off the field.

JANUARY 5, 2022 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Catches both targets in victory Ward caught each of his two targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Football Team.

Impact 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.
