ESPN's rough blunder exposed as Texans demolished Steelers in playoffs | Sporting News ESPN listed inactive safety Jimmie Ward as a starter during the Texans-Steelers playoff broadcast, exposing a major research error.
11 HOURS AGO • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Progressing in recovery Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Ward (foot) could return to practice within a few weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Ward is on the reserve/PUP list as he continues to recover from offseason foot surgery. While a return for the veteran corner isn't imminent, he appears to be on track to return during the second half of the regular season. Ward's absence, coupled with the Texans releasing C.J. Gardner-Johnson in late September, has allowed M.J. Stewart to step into a starting role at safety alongside Calen Bullock.

Moved to reserve/PUP list The NFL removed Ward (foot) from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday, and the Texans moved him to the reserve/PUP list in a corresponding move, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Ward was placed on the Commissioner Exempt List in late August as part of an investigation in his arrest in mid-June on third-degree felony domestic violence charges. Ward is still under investigation, but his move off the List to the PUP means he will be able to participate in team activities once he has been cleared to return from a foot injury that he suffered in late December of 2024.

Lands on active/PUP list Ward (foot) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Ward missed nine games for the Texans last season with both a concussion and later, a foot injury in Week 17. Early in the offseason, head coach DeMeco Ryans said the 34-year-old was "doing fine" in the progression of his foot injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. With injuries limiting him to just 20 games over the past two seasons, the team is taking a cautious approach with the veteran, but he can return at any point in the offseason, should the team deem him ready.
