Overview

• The Colts placed Ward on injured reserve Saturday, sidelining him a minimum of four games under NFL IR rules.
• He will miss matchups against the Chargers, Titans, Steelers and Falcons, with the earliest return in Week 12 at the Chiefs after the bye.
• Indianapolis signed veteran running back Ameer Abdullah to the 53-man roster and elevated cornerback Cameron Mitchell and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell for Week 7.
• Ward sustained the injury in a pregame warmup collision reported to involve tight end Drew Ogletree; it is his second concussion of 2025 after missing Week 2.
• The secondary remains thin with multiple defensive backs already on IR, and slot corner Kenny Moore II is expected to return Sunday, per reporting.
