Case of Texans Safety Jimmie Ward to advance to grand jury
Jimmie Ward will be unavailable for the first four weeks of the campaign due to being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list pending the outcome of a legal case involving an assault family violence charge. His attorney is preparing a strong packet to present to the grand jury in hopes of avoiding indictment. The outcome of this process will determine if the criminal case proceeds or if charges are dropped. Ward will also have a civil suit to address from the alleged incident. He will be unable to practice or play while on the exempt list, but was already slated to start the year on reserve/PUP. The 11-year veteran has one year left on his contract and it is unclear when he will be able to return to the Texans’ active roster.
