Browns cornerback Denzel Ward was outside working to the side on Wednesday as the team hosted the Minnesota Vikings for joint practices. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said after the session that Ward is currently in the concussion protocol . The time of the injury was not specified, but Ward appeared to have possibly sustained an injury on Monday during practice when he collided with wide receiver Elijah Moore during 1-on-1 drills. Ward landed awkwardly on the back of his head during the collision.
He was wearing the Guardian Cap, which is intended to reduce impact force and subsequently lower concussion rates. Now, while Stefanski confirmed Ward is in the protocol, that doesn't mean he has been diagnosed with a concussion. A player can enter the protocol for both exhibiting symptoms or signs of a concussion—or a stinger, an injury to the nerve network within the neck and shoulder.
