The Browns also waived wide receiver Derrick Dillon, whom they
signed on Aug. 1.
Ward had been sidelined with a foot injury. When camp opened,
placing Ward on the PUP list was viewed as more of a precaution.
The 25-year-old Ward is entering his fifth season with the
Browns, who drafted him No. 4 overall in 2018. In 15 games in
2021, he made 43 tackles and had three interceptions for 103
yards, including a touchdown return.
In his career, Ward has appeared in 52 games (51 starts) with
186 tackles (eight for loss), 10 interceptions, two touchdowns,
two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Ward is entering the first year of a five-year, $100.5 million
contract extension that included $71.25 million in guaranteed
money. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in
2018 and again in 2021.
