Colts Activate Charvarius Ward From IR for Week 12 Return at Chiefs

The move follows his clearance from the NFL concussion protocol after weeks of severe symptoms.

Overview

  • Indianapolis added Ward back to the 53-man roster after opening his 21-day practice window this week and removing his questionable designation.
  • The Colts waived cornerback Cameron Mitchell as the corresponding roster move.
  • Ward called his Week 6 pregame collision with tight end Drew Ogletree a traumatic concussion and said he briefly questioned continuing his career.
  • He practiced fully Wednesday through Friday, was cleared Friday, and is set for his first game pairing with trade acquisition Sauce Gardner, with Kenny Moore II in the slot.
  • This was Ward’s second concussion of the season after a Week 1 head injury that cost him one game; he last played in Week 5 and now returns against his former team.
