Overview

• Montgomery County jurors issued a no-bill on Thursday, ending the felony family assault prosecution tied to Ward’s June 12 arrest in Magnolia, Texas.
• Ward remains on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list on paid leave, which bars him from practices and games as the league continues its separate conduct review.
• NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the matter remains under review, and league discipline can be imposed without a criminal conviction under the personal conduct policy.
• A Harris County civil lawsuit filed Aug. 21 seeks more than $20 million and alleges multiple physical and sexual assaults; Ward has denied the allegations.
• While the Texans have kept Ward on the roster, he is rehabbing from offseason foot surgery and previously faced an August arrest over bond violations involving contact and an alcohol test.
