On Wednesday, Ward provided his side of the story, per Connor Hughes of SNY, noting how he and teammates took offense to an illegal block from Jets wideout Randall Cobb and the ensuing reaction:
Cobb leveled Giants safety Bobby McCain with an illegal blindside block, which led to the defensive back suffering a concussion.
The Jets ended up beating the Giants 32-24 in their annual preseason matchup, but the two will meet again this regular season on Oct. 29.
