Overview

• Ward landed awkwardly on his right arm after breaking up a pass in one-on-one drills and walked off to be evaluated by trainers.
• He is undergoing further testing, and an outside report from Jordan Schultz indicates the injury is not believed to be serious.
• The Browns did not provide a status update on Tuesday, with timing of further information expected after additional evaluation.
• Ward, a four-time Pro Bowler who led the NFL with 19 passes defensed last season and missed the finale with a shoulder issue, is central to Cleveland’s plans.
• With Emerson out for the year and Greg Newsome II managing a shoulder issue, backups such as Tony Brown II, Chigozie Anusiem, and Myles Harden could see more reps, while defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. continued on-field rehab in a right-knee brace on the active/PUP list.
