Overview

• Ward was moved by Houston to the reserve/physically unable to perform list due to offseason foot surgery, making him ineligible for the first four games.
• He can be added to the 53-man roster after Week 4 if medically cleared, having missed the season’s first three games on paid leave.
• A Montgomery County grand jury declined to indict Ward on family violence allegations, and prosecutors dismissed the criminal case for insufficient evidence.
• The NFL said its personal-conduct investigation continues and could still result in discipline, with the games already missed potentially considered as time served.
• A separate Harris County civil lawsuit seeking more than $20 million alleges repeated physical and sexual assaults, claims Ward denies.
