Ward was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2014 and spent nine seasons with the team before signing a two-year, $10.5 million deal with the Texans.

Ward has not practiced yet this spring due to foot surgery. He’s played in 20 games over the past two seasons.

Further details regarding the arrest are currently unknown.
