The Titans elevated Ward from their practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
With Derrick Henry (hip), Dontrell Hilliard (neck) and Trenton Cannon (knee) all not expected to suit up Thursday night versus Dallas, Ward is now in line to serve as Tennessee's No. 3 backfield option in Week 17 behind Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut. Since joining the Titans on Dec. 13, the 25-year-old has yet to log an offensive snap.
Ward reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
What it means:
Ward made his Titans debut during Saturday's loss to the Texans, when he played eight snaps on special teams and logged one tackle in kick coverage. Previously this season, he played five games for the Cardinals. Ward is eligible to be elevated from Tennessee's practice squad up to two more times this season.

What it means:
Ward was signed to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday and will be elevated to the active roster for his first game with Tennessee. He played primarily on special teams during five contests with the Jets to begin the season and figures to garner a similar role for the Titans in Week 16.
Ward signed with the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
What it means:
Ward was cut from the Jets' practice squad last Tuesday, after he had originally started the season with the Cardinals. He'll give the Titans an emergency option at running back, with Dontrell Hilliard (neck) already ruled out for Week 15 and Hassan Haskins (hip) questionable.
Ward was cut from the Jets' practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
Ward joined the team last Tuesday after being waived by the Cardinals. His departure could be a sign that Michael Carter (ankle) will be ready to return Week 14 against the Bills.
The Jets signed Ward to a practice-squad deal Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
What it means:
Ward was recently waived from injured reserve by the Cardinals, but his hamstring injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to prevent him from signing with the Jets. New York already has Breece Hall (knee) on IR and Michael Carter (ankle) is considered day-to-day, so Ward will operate as an emergency depth option on the practice squad.
