Steelers Make Practice Squad Swap Friday

The Pittsburgh Steelers have shuffled around their practice squad, releasing DT Domenique Davis and signing RB Jonathan Ward, the team announced Friday.

Ward was waived Wednesday to clear room for CB Cory Trice Jr., activated from injured reserve Thursday on the final day of his 21-day window. A veteran who signed with the team following a rookie minicamp tryout, Ward appeared in four games for the Steelers this season when backfield injuries piled up. He logged five carries for 22 yards, primarily playing on special teams on the coverage and kick return unit.

With Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, and Cordarrelle Patterson healthy, Ward had been inactive for several weeks before being released earlier this week.
