Colts' Charvarius Ward: Cleared from injury report
Ward (back) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens.
Ward was battling a back injury. However, his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates he should be good to go for the opener versus Baltimore. The 30-year-old veteran appeared in seven regular-season games for the Colts during the 2025 campaign, compiling 25 total tackles.

Colts' Charvarius Ward: Returns to practice Tuesday
Ward (back) is back participating in individual drills at practice Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Ward dealt with back tightness during the offseason and has continued to battle it this summer, causing him to miss the past couple weeks of action. The Colts will now aim to get Ward ready for the regular-season opener 19 days from now Sept. 13 against the Ravens. Ward is expected to bookend Sauce Gardner at cornerback for Indianapolis.

Colts' Charvarius Ward: No timeline for return
Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters Tuesday that Ward (back) does not have a timeline for return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ward has not practiced in training camp due to a back issue that also prevented him from participating in minicamp in June. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason opener against New England, and it remains to be seen whether Ward will suit up for any of the Colts' exhibition games. Cam Taylor-Britt (suspension), Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards will all see more reps with the first-team defense at outside cornerback for as long as Ward is sidelined.

Colts' Charvarius Ward: Recovers from back issue
Ward (back) is participating in the Colts' training camp activities, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Ward did not participate in minicamp in early June due to back tightness. The veteran cornerback played in just seven regular-season games during his 2025 Colts debut campaign due to a concussion, recording 25 total tackles, seven defensed passes and one fumble recovery. If he can remain healthy in 2026, Ward could play a significant role in Indianapolis' secondary given his experience and the offseason release of Kenny Moore.

Colts' Charvarius Ward: Ready to continue NFL career
Ward (concussion) is present for OTAs and has decided to continue his football career after contemplating retirement, ESPN.com's Stephen Holder reports.
Ward's last two seasons were a nightmare even though he largely remained effective when on the field. His daughter passed away in October 2024, during his final season with the 49ers, and Ward then played just seven games in 2025 for the Colts while spending most of the season in concussion protocol. He spoke with reporters Wednesday for the first time since the end of the 2025 campaign, confirming that he's back with the Colts for another season and has high hopes for a secondary that also features CB Sauce Gardner. The Colts recently released long-time slot corner Kenny Moore, as they were unwilling to commit three starter-level contracts to the same position long-term.

Colts' Charvarius Ward: Considering retirement
Ward (concussion) said after Sunday's game that he is considering retirement due to lingering concussion symptoms, Nathan Brown reports.
The eighth-year pro suffered his third concussion of the season in Week 14 against Jacksonville, which ultimately caused him to miss the Colts' final four games of the season. This adds to the previous six games Ward missed due to concussions in Week 1 and Week 6. The 29-year-old mentioned debilitating headaches and lingering symptoms factoring in his possible retirement decision, saying, "If I walk away, I won't regret it." Ward has 460 tackles (338 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 77 pass breakups, with 10 interceptions, and three forced fumbles through his career.
