The host Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals are locked in a close battle in Week 6.
Indianapolis led 14-10 at halftime despite missing one of their best players on defense for an unusual reason.
Cornerback Charvarius Ward was ruled out of today’s game because of a concussion suffered during pregame warmups.
The game’s broadcast showed video of Ward colliding with a teammate in the hours leading up to the game. Ward was backpedaling and did not see another player walking on to the field behind him. The two collided and Ward went down hard on the turf in Lucas Oil Stadium.
He wasn’t the only Colts player to suffer an injury during warmups, either. Backup quarterback Anthony Richardson suffered an eye injury and was downgraded to inactive for the game, per multiple reports.
This is Ward’s first recorded concussion in his NFL career. He hasn’t missed a game due to injury since the 2021 NFL season when he suffered a quad injury and played just three contests.
