Ware was activated off the practice squad for the Week 8 match-up against the Detroit Lions for the NFL game in London on November 1, 2015. In this game, Ware scored his first NFL touchdown, a 4-yard run, in the waning minutes of the 4th quarter game against the Detroit Lions.[4]
Personal life
On June 23, 2016, Ware hosted an event at Full Throttle Indoor Karting "where he provided free transportation, go-karting, and lunch to the thirty kids of the [Winton Hills] Recreational Center."

On January 12, 2014, Ware was booked in Seattle's King County Jail under the charge of DUI.[6] However, that case was dismissed in July 2014 after a judge ruled that the officer lacked reasonable suspicion of DUI at the time he initiated the traffic stop.[7]
