Giants Sign RB Jonathan Ward Amid Injury Woes

The New York Giants are set to sign veteran running back Jonathan Ward after he completed a successful workout, aiming to strengthen their running back depth amid injuries to rookies Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and Rushawn Baker (knee). Ward entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020 and has played for the Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and most recently the Pittsburgh Steelers, primarily contributing on special teams. Over his NFL career, Ward has recorded 91 rushing yards on 22 carries. The signing comes during a Giants training camp marked by several injuries, prompting the team to seek free agent reinforcements. The Giants have also added quarterback Russell Wilson and high-profile draft picks this offseason as they look to improve on last year's performance. The team will open their 2025 season against the Washington Commanders.
