Colts Lose Charvarius Ward for Cardinals Clash Following Pregame Teammate Collision
The Indianapolis Colts faced a challenging setback before their Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals. In an unexpected incident during pregame warmups, the Colts lost one of their key defensive players.
Ward’s Concussion Setback
Cornerback Charvarius Ward, a critical player for the Colts, suffered a concussion just before the game. The injury occurred when Ward collided with a teammate during warmups at Lucas Oil Stadium. As Ward backpedaled, he inadvertently made contact with another player entering the field, leading to a hard fall.
Impact on Colts’ Roster
- Charvarius Ward ruled out due to concussion.
- Anthony Richardson, backup QB, also inactive with an eye injury.
This was Ward’s first concussion recorded in his NFL career. Previously, he missed games in the 2021 NFL season due to a quad injury, limiting him to just three appearances.
Game Overview
Despite these setbacks, the Indianapolis Colts managed a halftime lead against the Arizona Cardinals, with the score at 14-10. However, the absence of Ward on defense posed a significant challenge for the Colts.
Ward’s availability in forthcoming games remains uncertain as he undergoes concussion protocols. Emegypt will continue to update on Ward’s recovery and any further developments in the Colts’ lineup.
