Ward (neck) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Scouting Report

Boasts elite foot speed and can stay with most any receiver. Very good as a leaper and contests impressively. Fantastically explosive and can really close. Not much of a factor in the intereceptions department. He isn't the type of big, strapping d-back who can take on jumbo receivers. Can use a lot more muscle mass for the pro game. Relatively small hands limit him in making some plays.

Long Range Potential: Talented defensive back with some starter tools.
