I mean he had more reps than any DL in the league last yr lol...sure it's a new system and getting him out there is super important, but he's not learning a very complex system it's a one gap get in the backfield game. I can more about having him 100% come game day and the ankle not being a reoccurring issue.
All NFL teams are dealing with injuries and hopefully we can get out of preseaon without anything serious (unlike a lot of other teams). I will agree not having Ward out there sucks and he's playing one of the most important roles on the D, sounds like he will be out there when we start practicing with Den though.
