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.
