New York is signing EDGE Jihad Ward off the Vikings practice squad, according to reports.
Ward joined Minnesota earlier this season, but he quickly gets scooped up to Big Blue's active roster having not been elevated any of the first three weeks.
The veteran comes with plenty of familiarity in the organization having previously spent two seasons with the Giants, last year with DC Dennard Wilson in Tennessee, and a year and a half with HC John Harbaugh in Baltimore.
Having played so recently in Wilson's defensive system too, perhaps he'll be able to get acclimated relatively quickly, and provide an immediate boost for Big Blue's shorthanded defense.
Ward finished last season with 31 tackles, 22 QB hits, and 5.0 sacks across 17 games (12 starts).
