• Texans' Jimmie Ward: Officially placed on IR

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Texans placed Ward (foot) on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. This move doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the safety will be undergoing season-ending foot surgery. The veteran safety left this past Saturday's matchup against the Chiefs in the first half and was unable to return to the eventual loss. His absence the rest of the way will prime M.J. Stewart or Myles Bryant to fill in at nickel cornerback.

  Ward was checked for a concussion during Sunday's 23-20 win at Jacksonville. It's unclear if Ward has entered the protocol for head injuries, but if he has, he'll need to pass through its five phases and gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up again. He had six tackles, including a tackle for loss, before departing in the second half.

  11/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ward (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

If the 11th-year pro can suit up for Week 10's matchup against the Lions, he'll likely serve as the Texans' top free safety.
