Overview
- The team signed Jonathan Ward on Sunday, a move first reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 and reflected on the NFL transaction wire.
- The addition follows a practice injury to Rasheen Ali and comes while Derrick Henry and Justice Hill are expected to sit preseason games.
- Ward is a five-year, four-team NFL veteran with strong college production at Central Michigan but limited regular-season touches and modest career stats.
- Baltimore worked out multiple backs before signing Ward and the team’s prior familiarity with him from a Ravens practice-squad stint eased his arrival.
- The signing gives Ward a chance for preseason snaps as the Ravens evaluate backups and rookies and provides short-term insurance if Ali misses more time.
