Denzel Ward Fantasy

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (foot), who is in a protective boot after suffering a foot injury on the final day of mandatory minicamp on June 16, said he'll "be good" for training camp next month, although he was hesitant to say he'd be ready for the start of camp. Ward described his injury as a sore left foot. The 25-year-old was named to his second Pro Bowl in 2021 after he recorded 43 tackles (34 solo), three interceptions (one for a touchdown), 10 passes defensed and half a sack in 15 starts for Cleveland. It led to a five-year, $100.5 million contract extension in April. Ward's foot doesn't have any structural damage, so as long as he doesn't have a setback in training camp, he should be ready for Week 1.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (foot) was injured during minicamp on Thursday. However, while things didn't look good, X-rays and an MRI revealed no structural damage to his left foot, which will likely mean he'll be ready for training camp in July. Ward, who recently agreed to a $100 million extension over five years, figures to remain a vital part of the Browns' defensive plans. He had 43 tackles and three picks last season, with one of them going back for a touchdown, so being without him certainly wouldn't be ideal for Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (leg) appeared to have injured his left leg at the team's final mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday. The Browns didn't provide any further details on Ward's injury, so it remains to be seen if it's serious enough to keep him sidelined for the start of training camp at the end of July. The 25-year-old Pro Bowler signed a five-year, $100.5 million contract extension in April after he recorded 43 tackles (34 solo), three interceptions (one for a touchdown), 10 passes defensed and half a sack in 15 starts last season. Losing Ward to begin the 2022 regular season would be a huge blow to Cleveland's secondary. Stay tuned for word on whether it was a serious injury.
