Ready for Sunday
Ward (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Won't play Sunday vs. Cardinals
Ward (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Analysis: Ward suffered an elbow injury during the Vikings' Week 12 overtime win over the Bears. The injury was severe enough for him to be held out of practice all week, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 14 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 8. Ward has played exclusively on special teams in the Vikings' six games since the Week 6 bye, and he has logged one solo tackle over that span.

Limited role on defense
Ward had one total tackle and a QB hit in Sunday's win over Houston.
Analysis: Ward played on just nine of the defense's 67 snaps as he has a reserve safety role. He could get more playing time if the Vikings limit Harrison Smith's snaps later this season to keep him fresh.
