Jimmie Ward, who signed with the Texans in the 2023 offseason, is under contract through 2025.
The 33-year-old safety was instrumental in helping the team turn around from a 3-13-1 record to an 11-8 playoff team last season.
His arrest really hurts since he played under coach DeMeco Ryans in San Francisco and then brought his talents to Houston when he was hired as head coach.
In 2024, Jimmie Ward appeared in 10 games for the Texans and recorded 45 total tackles and two interceptions.
Texans safety Jimmie Ward might be getting cut fairly soon after he was arrested for family violence on Thursday.
Texans senior director of communications Omar Majzoub said the following about Ward’s arrest.
“We are aware of the report involving Jimmie Ward,” Majzoub said. “We are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time.”
