Cornerback Charvarius Ward is questionable for theIndianapolis Colts' Week 3 matchup with the Houston Texans.
Ward suffered a groin injury in the Colts' Week 2 loss against Kansas City. After not practicing on Wednesday, Ward has been trending upward, taking part on Thursday as a limited participant and then as a full participant on Friday.
If Indianapolis is without Ward, we could see the Colts move Justin Walley from the nickel to outside cornerback, with then either Cam Taylor-Britt or Kapena Gushiken -- or perhaps both -- taking over in the slot.
Ward has played 101 defensive snaps this season, allowing three receptions on six targets for 63 yards.

Along with Ward being questionable,
wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) has been ruled out. Dulin hasn't practiced at all over the last two weeks and did not play against the Chiefs.
With Dulin sidelined last week, Laquon Treadwell took on a larger role on offense, while Anthony Gould assisted in the return game.
Alec Pierce (heel) has also been ruled out. The Colts have not officially placed him on injured reserve yet.
