  • Texans' Jimmie Ward: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Ward (shoulder) did not participate in Houston's practice Wednesday.

    Ward came up with a huge interception in the end zone with less than 20 seconds remaining to help preserve the Texans' win this past Sunday versus Denver, but he came out of the contest with a shoulder injury. Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports that scans indicated that the safety's shoulder "checked out fine" and that he's likely dealing with "just a bruise," so there appears to be a good chance that he'll be able to play this Sunday against the Jets. However, it bears watching Houston's injury report the rest of this week, as Ward may need to be a full participant in at least one practice session to avoid going into the weekend with an injury designation.

  • Texans' Jimmie Ward: Makes game-saving pick

    Ward recorded six tackles (four solo) and an interception in Sunday's 22-17 win versus the Broncos.

    The interception was the first of the season for Ward, and it could not have come at a better time for Houston. With less than 20 seconds to play, Russell Wilson escaped from blind-side pressure to air out a jump ball in the direction of six-foot-six tight end Lucas Krull in the end zone, but the five-foot-eleven Ward went airborne and came down with it to preserve the Texans' lead and the win. Despite the Week 13 heroics, there will be better IDP options in Week 14 when the Texans travel to face the Jets.

    Ward (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    The veteran safety was held out of practice all week, and he's now in line to miss his third game in a row Sunday, as he continues to recover from a hamstring issue. DeAndre Houston-Carson is expected to continue starting in Houston's secondary until Ward can return to the field.

    Ward exited Week 9 against the Buccaneers with the injury, then missed the team's Week 10 win over the Bengals and has yet to return to practice. However, he'll have an opportunity to do so Thursday and Friday ahead of the team's game against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  • Texans' Jimmie Ward: Out for Week 10

    Ward (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Ward did not participate at practice this week, so it's little surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. Grayland Arnold could start at safety in Ward's place against the pass-heavy Bengals.
