Ward was limited in Wednesday's practice because of a hip injury.
Scouting Report
Boasts elite foot speed and can stay with most any receiver. Very good as a leaper and contests impressively. Fantastically explosive and can really close. Not much of a factor in the intereceptions department. He isn't the type of big, strapping d-back who can take on jumbo receivers. Can use a lot more muscle mass for the pro game. Relatively small hands limit him in making some plays.
Long Range Potential: Talented defensive back with some starter tools.
