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

Jimmie Ward Latest News
Injury-marred 2023
Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 games in 2023. 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.
Remains out of action
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.
Out for rest of game
M.J. Stewart replaced Ward and suffered a shoulder injury, opening the door for DeAndre Houston-Carson to play strong safety. Ward recorded two tackles before exiting. The safety has 35 on the season to go with two passes defensed and a forced fumble.
Leaves with injury
Ward was replaced by M.J. Stewart, who subsequently suffered a shoulder injury, now leaving the Texans depleted at safety. In their absence, DeAndre Houston-Carson has stepped in at strong safety. Ward is considered questionable to return.
