Texans' Jimmie Ward: Officially out for Week 6

Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

Ward was expected to miss the Texans' Week 6 contest after aggravating a pre-existing groin injury the week prior, and Friday's injury report made it official. Expect Calen Bullock to start alongside Jalen Pitre while Ward recovers from his injury.
