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

Limited Wednesday Ward (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Missing another week Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Jets.
Impact 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.

Back at practice Ward (groin) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday after missing Monday's session, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play in Week 8 Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Impact 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.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to sit Sunday Ward (groin) is not expected to play Week 7 against Green Bay, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact 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.
