The Steelers have recently signed running back Jonathan Ward to their 90-man roster, following a successful tryout at their rookie minicamp. Ward received a one-year contract but no other terms have been announced yet. In the past season, Ward played for the Titans and ran three times for 11 yards while mainly contributing on special teams. He spent his first two NFL seasons with the Cardinals before splitting the 2022 season between Tennessee and Arizona.
In Pittsburgh, the top two returning backs are Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. The Steelers have also added Cordarrelle Patterson as a free agent to their backfield. With these new additions, the Steelers are looking to strengthen their running game for the upcoming season. It will be exciting to see how Ward fits in with the team and what contributions he will make on the field alongside Harris, Warren, and Patterson. The competition in the backfield is likely to be fierce as the Steelers aim to build a solid running game for the season ahead.
