News

  • Rehab progressing, already running

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Ward is "doing fine" in his recovery from foot surgery and "is starting to get back to running a little bit," Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward appears on track in his recovery from a procedure undergone to address a season-ending injury sustained Week 16. The veteran safety figures to be ready for the start of training camp, but Houston may continue to take a cautious approach to his recovery in the meantime. Ward has dealt with numerous injuries across the last two seasons, which have limited him to just 20 regular-season appearances in that span.

  • Officially placed on IR

    The Texans placed Ward (foot) on injured reserve Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Out for season with foot injury

    Ward (foot) will undergo surgery and is out for the remainder of the regular season and postseason, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward suffered a foot injury in the first half of Saturday's loss to the Chiefs and was unable to return. The veteran safety will now focus on preparing for 2025 following his upcoming surgery. Ward has dealt with a slew of injuries throughout this campaign, the most notable being a groin problem, but never anything severe enough to sideline him indefinitely. M.J. Stewart or Myles Bryant will now fill in as the nickel cornerback in Ward's absence.

  • Exits Saturday's game

    Ward (foot) won't return to Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ward had three tackles (one solo) prior to getting injured in the first half. M.J. Stewart or Myles Bryant will take over as the nickel cornerback in Ward's absence.

  • Season-high nine tackles vs. Miami

    Ward finished Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins with nine tackles (four solo) and one pass defense.

    Analysis: Ward's nine tackles Sunday was a season best and was second on the Texans behind Henry To'oTo'o (11). Ward played 60 defensive snaps, which were his most since Week 3 against the Vikings. Over his last five outings, Ward has logged 28 tackles (18 solo) and three pass defenses (two interceptions including a pick-six against the Titans in Week 12).

  • Appears good to go for Week 15

    Ward (head) is not listed on Houston's injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Ward exited Houston's Week 13 win over Jacksonville to get evaluated for a concussion. However, the Texans were on bye last week, and the veteran safety appears clear of any head issue. Ward is thus set to suit up in Sunday's Week 15 matchup versus Miami.

  • Gets concussion check

    Ward was checked for a concussion during Sunday's 23-20 win at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Pick-six in loss

    Ward recorded six tackles, including three for a loss, and returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12.

    Analysis: Ward stepped in front of a Will Levis pass and raced untouched to the house. At the time, the score gave Houston a lead late in the third quarter. The pick was his second in the three weeks since returning from a groin injury.

  • Has pick in loss

    Ward had five tackles and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Past groin injury

    Ward (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Limited Wednesday

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Missing another week

    Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Jets.

    Analysis: Ward downgraded to a DNP on Wednesday after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday due to a groin injury, so it's not surprising the veteran safety will miss his fourth consecutive game in Week 9. Expect Eric Murray to continue starting alongside Calen Bullock while Ward remains sidelined Thursday night.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Back at practice

    Ward (groin) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday after missing Monday's session, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play in Week 8

    Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

    Analysis: Ward didn't practice all week and has missed the Texans' last two games due to a groin injury, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out ahead of Week 8. Expect Eric Murray to continue starting alongside Calen Bullock in Houston's secondary until Ward can return to the field.

  • Has yet to return to practice

    Ward (groin) was listed as a DNP on the Texans' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Missing another week

    Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

    Analysis: Ward has yet to practice since aggravating his groin injury in the Texans' Week 5 win over the Bills, and he's now in line to miss his second consecutive game in Week 7. Expect Eric Murray to start alongside Calen Bullock as part of Houston's top safety duo while Ward remains sidelined Sunday.

  • Expected to sit Sunday

    Ward (groin) is not expected to play Week 7 against Green Bay, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward, who was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice session, will miss a second consecutive game if this report holds up over the next few days. Ward's absence would mean more work for Calen Bullock and Eric Murray, each of whom intercepted a pass in last week's game against the Patriots.

  • Begins week with DNP

    Ward (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Ward was sidelined for the Texans' Week 6 win over the Patriots after aggravating a pre-existing groin injury the week prior, and Wednesday's DNP indicates he could miss even more time. If the veteran safety cannot upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday, expect Eric Murray to start alongside Calen Bullock in Houston's secondary.

  • Expected out Sunday

    Ward (groin) is not expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward sat out a second consecutive practice Thursday after aggravating a pre-existing groin injury during Week 5's win over Buffalo. It's the same injury the forced the safety to miss Week 4 against Jacksonville. Apparently, per league sources, Ward could miss multiple games. Calen Bullock is expected to replace Ward, who has 17 tackles and one pass defensed over four games.

    Analysis: Ward exited Sunday's win over the Bills after he aggravated a groin injury that had him questionable for the matchup, and also caused a Week 4 absence.

    Analysis: Ward was questionable for the matchup due to the same injury but ultimately suited up for the contest.

  • Sheds injury tag ahead of Week 5

    Ward (groin) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Ward injured his groin during practice leading up to Week 4 and was forced to miss the contest against the Jaguars. He was limited during Wednesday's and Thursday's practices, but he's good to go for Week 5 after practicing in full Friday. Ward will reclaim his starting role at free safety alongside strong safety Jalen Pitre. Ward played every defensive snap through the first three games of the regular season, and over that span he accumulated 15 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defended.

    Ward (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward closed out last week with back-to-back DNPs before being ruled out for the Texans' Week 4 win over the Jaguars. His return to the field Wednesday should put him on a trajectory to have a good chance of suiting up Sunday against the Bills.

    Analysis: Ward appeared to have suffered the injury in Wednesday's practice, as he was limited that day and then finished the week with back-to-back DNPs on Thursday and Friday. Eric Murray figures to draw in as the starting safety next to Calen Bullock for Houston.

  • Injury-marred 2023

    Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 games in 2023.

    Analysis: Ward, a team captain, was beset by injuries all season long. He missed time due to hip, hamstring and shoulder injuries before a quadricep ended his season in December. In between the setbacks, Ward played well, and his one interception was an end-zone pick that sealed a win over Denver. Houston went 6-4 in games he played and could use his stabilizing presence on the back end. Ward turns 33 in July and will be entering his 11th season.

    Ward (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward suffered the quadriceps injury in Sunday's loss to the Browns and he'll now be forced to miss the remainder of the regular season with a shot at returning if Houston advances deep into the postseason. In his place, Adrian Amos or DeAndre Houston-Carson will take over at starting strong safety, beginning in Week 17 against the Titans.

    Ward (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Ward left in the first half after sustaining a quadriceps injury and had one tackle before his exit. It's the second week in a row that Ward has been taken out of a game after leaving last week's contest with a concussion. DeAndre Houston-Carson will fill in at strong safety alongside free safety Jalen Pitre for the rest of Sunday's game.

  • Questionable to return

    Ward is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns with a quad injury.

    Analysis: The safety made one tackle before exiting. Ward has 50 tackles, three passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble in 2023. DeAndre Houston-Carson should see more playing time in his absence.

  • Good to go versus Cleveland

    Ward (concussion) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Ward (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

  • Cleared to face Jets

    Ward (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Ward sustained a shoulder injury in the Texans' Week 13 win over the Broncos. He upgraded his participation in practice throughout the week, culminating in a full session Friday, and will suit up Sunday. Ward had the crucial game-sealing interception off Russell Wilson last Sunday, and he'll look to provide further trouble for Jets quarterback Zach Wilson in Week 14.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Makes game-saving pick

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

    Analysis: After missing the first two games of the season with a hip injury, Ward has started the last four contests and has 25 tackles and one pass breakup to his name in that span. The 32-year-old Ward was one of the Niners to follow coach DeMeco Ryans to Houston.

  • Makes impact in debut

    Ward had eight tackles in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars in Week 3.

    Analysis: Ward, a team captain that missed the first two weeks with a hip injury, helped stabilize a defense that was missing Jalen Pitre (chest) and Derek Stingley (hamstring). One noticeable area of improvement was in third-down percentage, with Houston limiting Jacksonville to just five of 13 third-down conversions.

  • Returns to practice

    Ward (hip) was able to practice Wednesday, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear if Ward was able to practice in full, but he did partake in individual drills. Either way, it's a sign of progression in the veteran safety's recovery, as he's missed each of the team's first two games and had yet to practice since suffering the injury. He should still be considered questionable for Sunday against the Jaguars.

  • Not playing Week 2

    The Texans ruled out Ward (hip) for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Ward already missed the team's Week 1 loss to Baltimore and will now have to wait at least another week before making his debut with the Texans. With Jalen Pitre (chest) also ruled out, Houston will be without both starting safeties, and M.J. Stewart and Eric Murray will likely start instead.

    Ward (hip) is not practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward was unable to suit up Week 1 against the Ravens and appears to still not be ready to take the field. The veteran safety will likely need to return to practice Thursday if he's going to suit up against the Colts on Sunday. However, if he's unable to, Eric Murray should get the start at strong safety again.

    Ward (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens, Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Ward was previously deemed day-to-day with a groin injury, but the team's injury report lists him as out with a hip injury.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Ward did not practice Monday due to a groin injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Ward recently underwent a dental procedure and has been managing a lingering groin injury. The Texans are counting on the veteran safety to handle starting role in Sunday's regular-season opener at Baltimore, so his status will be monitored closely. If Ward can't go Week 1, Lamar Jackson and his revamped receiving corps could have an easier time airing it out against depth options Eric Murray and M.J. Stewart.

The veteran safety spent his first nine seasons in San Francisco, racking up 200 tackles over the past three campaigns.

  • Splits time at safety/corner

    Ward finished with 50 tackles (38 solo), three interceptions and a forced fumble across 12 regular-season games with the 49ers in 2022.

    Analysis: Ward turned in another solid season in red and gold, this time playing both free safety and nickel corner. The 31-year-old was not thrilled about the position change, as he felt he should remain at free safety over Tashaun Gipson, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Ward has proven effective at both safety and corner during his nine-year tenure with the 49ers, but it sounds like he is ready to test the free-agent market as a free safety.

    Analysis: After being activated from injured reserve prior to Week 5's contest against Carolina, Ward broke his hand in the first quarter and was forced to miss the remainder of that game as well as all of Week 6.

    Ward (hand) was a limited participant in the 49ers' practice Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Ward missed the first four games of the season while on IR, and he broke his left hand while making his season debut against the Panthers in Week 5. While the 31-year-old underwent surgery last Tuesday and is expected to be evaluated again this Saturday, it appears he could be nearing a return as soon as Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Ward is in line to make his season debut in Week 5 after missing the first four games of the season while on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Ward will now have a 21-day window to practice before returning to the team's active roster, otherwise, he will be forced to go on season-ending IR. The 31-year-old was placed on IR after suffering a significant hamstring injury in mid-August. Ward recorded 77 tackles, six passes defended and two interceptions while playing nearly every defensive snap over 16 games last season, and he should reprise a prominent role at free safety this season.

    The 49ers placed Ward (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: As expected, Ward will start the season on injured reserve after suffering a significant hamstring injury toward the end of training camp.

    Analysis: Ward injured his hamstring "pretty badly" at Sunday's practice according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

  • May miss season opener

    Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Ward suffered a "pretty bad" hamstring injury during Sunday's practice and there's a chance he'll miss Week 1 of the regular season, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: This is a tough break for Ward, who's coming off his best statistical season of his career. His increased production was likely a product of his ability to stay on the field for 16 games after periodically being sidelined by injuries to start his career. If he's forced to miss regular-season contests, expect Tarvarius Moore to step into an expanded role to start the season.

  • Best season of career

    Ward wrapped up 77 tackles (51 solo) with six pass defenses, two interceptions and a touchdown across 16 games with the 49ers in 2021.

    Analysis: Ward has always been a skilled free safety, but he managed to finally combine his strong play with a healthy regular season. Barring any drastic roster changes this offseason, the 30-year-old should enter the final year of his contract in San Francisco as the team's starting free safety in 2022.

    Ward (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ward returned to practice in a limited capacity Friday and Saturday, but he'll still carry an injury designation for Week 10. If he's forced to miss a second straight game Monday, his absence would leave San Francisco very shorthanded in the secondary.

    Analysis: Ward picked up the injury Sunday against the Bears, but it was originally thought he might be able to play in Week 9. This is a big blow to a 49ers secondary that is already missing multiple pieces. Tavon Wilson will likely see a large increase in snaps while Ward is on the shelf.

    Analysis: Ward's concussion forced him to exit during the first half of last Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, and it's now confirmed the head injury will keep him out of the Week 16 lineup. The development is no surprise given that Ward was unavailable to practice in any capacity this week. With Ward's second confirmed absence of 2020 imminent, the next man up at free safety would be Tarvarius Moore (knee), if he proves capable of overcoming his questionable designation.

    Analysis: Ward suffered a quadriceps injury in this past Sunday's win over New Englad, and while he started the practice week as a non-participant, the veteran safety logged consecutive limited sessions to close out the week. This gives Ward a decent chance to suit up Sunday, and he'll start at free safety if he's deemed active 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

The 2014 first-round pick served as the team's starting free safety in Robert Saleh's dominant defense after being moved back and forth between safety and corner in previous regimes.
