Colts Cornerback Charvarius Ward Suffers Concussion During Pregame Warmups and Sits Out
The Indianapolis Colts face a challenging situation as cornerback Charvarius Ward has been ruled out of the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals. The injury comes after he sustained a concussion during pregame warmups, a situation that leaves the team short-handed.
Charvarius Ward’s Injury Details
Despite not being listed as inactive prior to the game, Ward’s concussion occurred unexpectedly, complicating the Colts’ roster management. The team submitted the inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, unaware of Ward’s condition.
Impact on the Colts’ Defense
- Charvarius Ward has recorded 13 tackles and three passes defensed this season.
- The absence of Kenny Moore further weakens the defensive backfield.
- Available cornerbacks now include Mekhi Blackmon, Jonathan Edwards, Cameron Mitchell, and Chris Lammons.
The Colts are aiming to improve their season record to 5-1. However, the loss of both Ward and Moore poses a significant challenge as they prepare to face the Cardinals.
Upcoming Game Outlook
As the Colts take the field, the focus will be on their remaining cornerbacks stepping up in crucial moments against Arizona. Effective coordination and resilience will be essential for the defensive lineup. The team hopes to adapt and secure a victory despite these setbacks.
