The Steelers continue to make offseason roster moves. On Monday, the team announced the signing of running back Jonathan Ward to a reserve/future contract.

Ward should be a familiar name to Steelers fans. He’s been part of over 15 roster moves since first signing with the team in May of 2024. Ward spent time on the Steelers’ practice squad and active roster over the season, appearing in four games. He rushed five times for 22 yards over that span, adding 59 special teams snaps.

The 27-year-old running back will now stay with the Steelers through the 2025 offseason. Given his experience with the team, he could be a name to keep an eye on if the Steelers shuffle their running back room entering the new season.

Ward has recorded 143 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown over his time in the NFL, but more importantly, he’s an experienced special teamer who’s also returned a few kicks over his five-year career.

The Steelers now have 81 players on the team between the active roster, reserve/future contracts, and reserve/injured list. Cole Holcomb remains on the PUP list while Markus Golden is still on the reserve/retired list heading into the new league year.
