Texans add Ward to injury-depleted backfield
Derrick Ward - RB - Houston Texans
Sept. 3, 2010 - 6:50 PM ET
Texans signed RB Derrick Ward to a one-year contract.
The preseason tape on Ward is unimpressive, and it's clear that he's merely being signed for depth with Steve Slaton and Jeremiah Johnson nursing toe injuries to start the season. Arian Foster will carry the load against the Colts next week. Ward will be used in a "break glass in case of emergency" fashion. He's likely to hit the open market again once Johnson returns to full health.
