The New York Giants release linebacker Jihad Ward shortly after his return to the team, ending a second stint that lasts only two games. The move comes days after the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the New Orleans Saints, according to one outlet.

Across the coverage, outlets describe the decision as swift and focused on the brevity of his run with the club. Some framings emphasize that it follows the Saints game, while others note that the release ends a “two-game” or “second stint” reunion. At least one source also characterizes Ward’s performance during the two games in broader terms, while other summaries stick closely to the timing and transaction details without adding qualitative assessment.
