Ward popped up on Friday's injury report due to a hand injury, logging a limited session in the process. A late addition to the injury report isn't typically a good sign, but the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play in Sunday's road game. Ward has 25 tackles (15 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception) and two forced fumbles through six regular-season games.
