This decision not only clears Ward's name but also allows him to focus on his career with the Houston Texans without the burden of legal troubles hanging over him. It's a relief for both the player and the team as they look ahead to the season.

Jimmie Ward, the safety for the Texans, has had a domestic violence charge against him dismissed after a grand jury chose not to indict.
