The Minnesota Vikings have officially signed outside linebacker Jihad Ward to their practice squad, the team announced on Friday.

Ward previously spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Vikings' 53-man active roster before playing elsewhere in 2025.
Ward spent the 2025 season with the Tennessee Titans, where he recorded 31 tackles, five sacks, and 22 quarterback hits in 17 games. Writer K.
