Colts Cornerback Ward Enters Concussion Protocol Ahead of Broncos Clash
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward has been placed into the league’s concussion protocol, casting uncertainty over his participation in the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos, as confirmed by head coach Shane Steichen on Monday.
Ward’s situation took a concerning turn when he began experiencing symptoms overnight. Upon his arrival at the team facility, he reported these issues and was promptly entered into the mandated protocol. According to reports from the Indianapolis Star, Ward had a notable performance during Sunday’s decisive 33-8 victory over the Miami Dolphins, contributing six tackles and playing a significant role in the defense by participating in 94% of the snaps.
With Ward’s status now in question, the Colts face a considerable challenge as they prepare to host the Broncos at Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday. The team will need to assess their defensive strategy and potential replacements in light of Ward’s absence, which could have a significant impact on their performance against a formidable Denver squad.
