Limited to open practice week Ward was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to shoulder and Achilles issues, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ward has been dealing with the shoulder issue since mid-August, but the Achilles injury is a new concern. However, the veteran cornerback logged 96 percent of Cleveland's defensive snaps Week 1 versus Cincinnati and managed a limited practice session Wednesday, so he may be able to play through the issues. If he can't suit up Sunday against Baltimore, though, Cameron Mitchell may be pressed into a starting role.

Available for season opener Ward (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plan Dealer reports.

Impact Ward was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday by a shoulder injury sustained during training camp, but he practiced without limitations Friday and has been cleared to suit up Week 1. Cleveland's top cornerback can't afford any physical limitations Sunday against Ja'Marr Chase and the prolific Bengals passing attack.

During whatever time he does miss, Chigozie Anusiem could be a contender for first-team reps at cornerback.
