Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward is currently facing serious legal troubles with a felony assault family violence charge stemming from an incident at his home. Ward was arrested early Thursday morning in Montgomery County and is currently held without bond.

This situation could impact both his career and the Texans' defensive lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season. As the team relies on Ward's skills in the secondary, potential disciplinary action from the NFL or the Texans organization could leave them vulnerable. His absence from the field could lead to fantasy owners reconsidering their strategy regarding the Texans' defense.
