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.

Ward was limited to 10 games (during which he logged 50 tackles) because of a slew of injuries that nagged him all season. When he wasn't hurt, Ward played well, but he'll be 33-years-old to start the season. If healthy, Ward will start at in the secondary along with returning starters Jalen Pitre (safety) and Derek Stingley (cornerback).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![SF](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100SF.png?v=10)
Could follow coach to Houston
Ward might end up signing with the Texans after former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans was hired to be Houston's new head coach, Matt Barrows of The Athletic speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Texans have an opening at safety next to 2022 second-round pick Jalen Pitre, and Ward will be an unrestricted free agent after the Super Bowl. The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in San Francisco, but his role dwindled this season due to the emergence of Talanoa Hufanga, and following Ryans to Houston to fill a starting role and help mentor the rest of the team's secondary could be appealing.
