Jimmie Ward Questionable To Return With A Head Injury
Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward (concussion) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return. Ward suffered a head injury during the first quarter of the Texans' Week 15 contest against the Tennessee Titans and was sent to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. The Texans are in a must-win scenario and losing their top safety at such a crucial time will hurt their chances of securing a victory.
Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward (hamstring) is listed as out for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ward has been unable to practice this week after he was forced to exit early during last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The hope is that he'll be able to return next week, but the team hasn't given a good timetable on his status. This season, Ward has 35 tackles and one fumble forced in six games. Grayland Arnold figures to start at safety with Ward unable to play.
Houston Texans safeties Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and M.J. Stewart (shoulder) have been ruled out for the remainder of Week 9 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players had initially been listed as questionable to return before having their statuses downgraded. This is a crushing loss for the Houston secondary, which will now need mid-week addition DeAndre Houston-Carson to step up and play more snaps alongside Jalen Pitre.
Jimmie Ward, M.J. Stewart Questionable To Return Sunday
Houston Texans safeties Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and M.J. Stewart (shoulder) exited during the first half of Week 9 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players are questionable to return. The two defensive playmakers had combined for four tackles prior to their departures. Look for DeAndre Houston-Carson, who was signed to the active roster this past week, to earn more snaps until Ward or Stewart can return.
The Houston Texans have signed safety Jimmie Ward, according to Aaron Wilson. The nine-year veteran has spent his entire career with the San Francisco 49ers. However, the former first rounder was turned from starter to situational player last season. That being said, Ward has decided to sign elsewhere, so he can be a starter. He reunites with former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans in Houston. Ward has played both safety and defensive back throughout his career. It's uncertain which he's going to play in Houston, but regardless this is an upgrade to their defense.
Jimmie Ward To Make Regular Season Debut In Week 5
The San Francisco 49ers activated defensive back Jimmie Ward to their active roster ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The 31-year-old sustained a hamstring injury in August and was placed on Injured Reserve, forcing him to miss the first four games of the season. Ward has finished top-three on the 49ers in tackles in each of the past three seasons and led the team in interceptions with two in 2021. He figures to be a great addition to what has already been a stout defense to begin the 2022 campaign.
San Francisco 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve list on Wednesday. As a result, he will miss at least four games, although he could be out longer. The veteran has played his entire career with the Niners, accumulating 401 total tackles (303 solo), 39 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, four picks, and three sacks. With that said, Ward hasn't been a serviceable fantasy option throughout the years, so managers aren't likely to lose any sleep over the latest update.
San Francisco 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) is expected to land on short-term injured reserve, according to general manager John Lynch. The 31-year-old has played his entire eight-year career with the Niners, accumulating 401 total tackles (303 solo), 39 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, four interceptions, and three sacks. He is anticipated to miss at least four games, although fantasy managers could be without him longer.
San Francisco 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) is currently questionable to suit up for Week 1. Head coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned it was a bad hamstring injury, so the team will wait and see how Ward progresses over the next few weeks. The former first round pick has been a reliable option for the 49ers over the last three seasons. He struggled with injuries earlier in his career, but has been fantastic lately. The loss of Ward would be a significant hit to the 49ers defense. George Odum and Tarvarius Moore would likely be in line for more playing time, assuming Ward does miss time.
The San Francisco 49ers re-signed safety Jimmie Ward to a three-year, $28.5 million deal on Monday night, according to a source. Ward was a priority for the defense in their attempt to make another Super Bowl run in 2020. The 28-year-old is an injury risk, as he's made it a full 16 games in just one of six NFL seasons, but he's a veteran leader for this Niners secondary. In 13 starts in 2019, Ward had a career-high 65 tackles (51 solo), one sack and eight passes defensed. He makes more of a real-life impact for the Niners than he does in IDP leagues, but San Fran's D will be a high-end fantasy play again next season.
