The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing RB Jonathan Ward after a successful tryout at the team’s rookie minicamp, per NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
Ward is a five-year veteran who has spent time with the Arizona Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans. For his career, he has 17 carries for 69 yards and six receptions for 52 yards. He reportedly impressed at rookie minicamp, and now will join a running back room that also features Jaylen Warren, Najee Harris, Cordarrelle Patterson and Aaron Shampklin.
That leaves the Steelers roster at 89, but they’ll have two open spots due to the roster exemption for undrafted free agent Julius Welschof as an international exemption.
