Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward is currently dealing with back pain that has kept him off the field. Ward was observed in street clothes on the sidelines during the team's joint practice with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday. He has now missed ten days of practice since August 9th, including the team's trip to New England.
Head coach Shane Steichen stated he has no update on Ward's injury status and does not believe surgery will be necessary. The specifics regarding the severity or exact location of the injury have not been disclosed by the team. Ward's absence raises concerns, particularly given his history of injuries.
Last season, his first with the Colts, Ward missed ten out of seventeen regular-season games due to three separate concussions. His career prior to joining the Colts saw him miss fewer games, with three full seasons completed between 2019 and 2023.
