Availability
Jihad Ward signed a contract to join the Vikings' practice squad.
Fantasy Impact
Ward, who spent the 2024 season with the Vikings, rejoins his former team to provide more veteran depth on defense. Ward played in all 17 games with the Titans last season, recording 31 total tackles and five sacks.
The Titans signed EDGE Jihad Ward.
Fantasy Impact
Ward appeared in all 17 games with the Vikings. He should add depth on the defensive line for Tennessee.
Defensive end Jihad Ward is expected to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Fantasy Impact
Rapoport noted that Ward's former defensive line coach in Baltimore, Joe Cullen, is now the defensive coordinator for the Jaguars, so there's some familiarity there. Ward should help boost what was a poor pass rushing unit in 2020 in Jacksonville.
