The Tennessee Titans have made a crucial addition to their roster for Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team announced that running back Jonathan Ward has been elevated from the practice squad to join the active roster. This will be Ward's second consecutive week of being called up to play.

Ward previously made his debut appearance for the Titans last Sunday during their impressive victory over the Atlanta Falcons. In that game, he showcased his versatility by playing three offensive snaps and an impressive 24 special teams snaps. Ward's contributions on special teams were particularly notable, demonstrating his commitment to making an impact in all facets of the game.

While this season marks Ward's first with the Titans, he brings prior NFL experience from his time playing for the Falcons. Over the course of the last three seasons, Ward participated in 32 games for Atlanta. His versatility as a running back and receiver was on display, with a career total of 14 carries for 58 yards, six catches for 52 yards, and a touchdown.

The Titans organization recognizes the value that Ward brings to the team and his potential to contribute in various situations on the field. By elevating him from the practice squad once again, the Titans are placing their trust in Ward's abilities to make a positive impact against their upcoming opponents, the Steelers.

Following the conclusion of Thursday night's game, Ward will revert back to the practice squad. However, his consistent elevation demonstrates the coaching staff's confidence in his abilities and highlights his potential for more significant roles in the future.

As kickoff approaches, the Titans and their fans eagerly await Ward's performance and hope that his addition will contribute to another electrifying victory for their team.
