The New York Giants faced a defeat against the New Orleans Saints, ending their Week 6 matchup with a 34-27 score on Sunday. Shortly after this loss, the Giants made a roster change by releasing linebacker Jihad Ward.
According to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Giants decided to part ways with Ward, whom they had picked from the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad just weeks prior. At 32 years old, Ward now seeks new opportunities after his tenure with the Giants ended.
During this season, Ward played two games with the Giants and managed to record one solo tackle. In contrast, last season with the Tennessee Titans, he achieved five sacks and amassed 31 combined tackles over 17 games. His experience may entice teams in search of seasoned players and roster depth.
Ward’s NFL career spans 11 years, with his performance in 138 games including 24 sacks and 200 combined tackles. His extensive work history makes him a potential asset for teams looking to add a veteran presence to their lineup.
