Texans safety Jimmie Ward arrested on felony assault family violence charge: Reports
Our Summary
Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested on a felony assault family violence charge, specifically for strangulation, at his home in Magnolia, Texas. The incident occurred early Thursday morning, and Ward is currently held without bond. The Texans' organization is aware of the situation but has not provided further comments. Ward, a former San Francisco 49er, joined the Texans in 2023 and has been a team captain for two consecutive seasons. Despite recovering from a foot injury that required surgery, Ward has been active in offseason treatments, though he hasn't participated in recent workouts. Known for his defensive skills, Ward played a crucial role in the Texans' improvement in the AFC South and has shown versatility across defensive positions. The Texans have bolstered their defense by adding former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and expect Calen Bullock to contribute significantly this season.
