New York Giants signing RB Jonathan Ward
With injury issues plaguing them at the position, the New York Giants hosted several free agent running backs for a tryout in East Rutherford on Monday. Following those workouts, the Giants settled on signing Jonathan Ward. The 27-year-old Ward signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan in 2020. He remained with the team for two-plus seasons before landing on injured reserve (IR) in 2022 and later being released. The New York Jets briefly signed Ward, who then finished the season and spent the subsequent year with the Tennessee Titans. The 6-foot, 202-pound Ward spent last season as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was teammates with current Giants quarterback Russell Wilson. In 46 career games, Ward has rushed for 91 yards on 22 carries (4.1 ypc), and hauled in six receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown. He's also returned two kickoffs for 42 yards and recorded 18 special teams tackles. A corresponding roster move has not been announced.
