Ward had five tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10. Ward battled a groin injury throughout the practice week after missing four games due to the injury. He made an immediate impact, intercepting a Jared Goff pass on Detroit's first possession, setting up Houston at the Lions' 33-yard line for a possession that culminated in a Joe Mixon touchdown run. The pick was the first of the season the 33-year-old Ward, whose two-year run in Houston has been marred by injuries.

Ward (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions. Ward practiced in full Friday after opening the Texans' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, indicating that he's moved past his groin injury in time to face Detroit in Week 10. The veteran had missed Houston's last four games, so this will be the first time the Texans have had their top safety duo of Ward and Calen Bullock since Week 5.

Ward (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Ward has missed four consecutive games due to a groin injury, however, Wednesday's limited practice session could be an indication that he's almost past the issue. 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.

Ward (groin) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday after missing Monday's session, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The starting safety missed the last three games with the groin injury, though he didn't practice at all last week, so his return may be a good sign ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Jets. Ward has 17 tackles and a pass breakup in four games this season. Eric Murray should start in his place again if he can't go against New York.

Ward (groin) was listed as a DNP on the Texans' injury report Wednesday. Ward suffered a groin injury during the Texans' Week 5 win over the Bills. The injury is severe enough that he's missed Houston's last two games and has been unable to practice. Ward will have two more opportunities this week to return in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Colts.
