The Houston Texans released veteran safety Jimmie Ward on Tuesday.
Ward didn't see any action last season after being involved in a domestic-violence issue prior to the campaign and later sustaining a foot injury.
Ward was arrested in Texas in June on third-degree felony domestic-violence charges when a woman alleged she was sexually and physically assaulted by Ward in front of their 3-year-old child. In September, a grand jury declined to indict Ward.
Ward, 34, has played 11 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (2014-22) and Texans (2023-24). The former first-round selection has 549 career tackles, 10 interceptions (three returned for touchdowns) and six forced fumbles in 126 games (99 starts).
In two seasons with Houston, Ward had 98 tackles and three interceptions in 20 games (all starts).
He has played in nine postseason games, all with San Francisco, and has one interception. Ward played in the Super Bowl following the 2019 regular season when the 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
