Overview

  • Ward landed awkwardly on his right arm while breaking up a pass in one-on-one drills and walked inside with a trainer after a brief attempt to return.
  • Cleveland offered no update Tuesday as the four-time Pro Bowler went for additional evaluation following practice.
  • Reporter Jordan Schultz said the injury is not believed to be serious, noting that medical testing is still underway.
  • The Browns’ secondary is stretched with Martin Emerson Jr. out for the season with a ruptured Achilles and Greg Newsome II managing a shoulder issue.
  • If Ward misses time, corners Tony Brown II, Chigozie Anusiem, and Myles Harden are in line for increased reps.
  • Separately, defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. worked on the side in a right-knee brace and remains on the active/PUP list during his rehab.
