Due to the timing of both players being placed on the list they will be out for Sunday’s game against the Steelers. Ward tested positive for COVID-19 which means he could possibly miss a playoff game.

Luckily for their offense they will get back the receivers they so desperately missed against the Jets. If Kevin Stefanski opts to pass the ball frequently again this week he will at least have the right personnel to do so.
