N.F.L. Roundup: T. J. Ward, Broncos’ Pro Bowl Safety, Suspended for a Game

T. J. Ward, a Pro Bowl safety for the Broncos, has been suspended for Denver’s opener against the Baltimore Ravens over a nightclub incident that happened more than 15 months ago.

Ward had been charged with misdemeanor assault and disturbing the peace after he was accused of throwing a glass mug at a female bartender at a Denver strip club in May 2014. Those charges were later dropped.

According to court documents, Ward was seen on video surveillance picking up the mug from the bar and throwing it after being told he couldn’t bring a drink into the club.
