Texans safeties questionable to return against the Buccaneers

Houston Texans safeties Jimmie Ward and M.J. Stewart are questionable to return against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9.

The Houston Texans have had injuries hit two of their safeties against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Safety Jimmie Ward is questionable to return with a hamstring injury while safety M.J. Stewart is questionable with a shoulder injury. Both were injured on consecutive plays early in the second quarter.

Coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters earlier in the week he appreciated the values Ward brought to the defense.

Said Ryans: “Just the confidence that he brings to our defense has been great, his leadership has been awesome for us. Just being around a ton of young guys, he’s helped those guys a lot. Just really thankful to have Jimmie here with us.”
