Before the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 6 matchup even began, they had two new injuries occur. The team announced that second-string QB Anthony Richardson suffered an eye injury during warmups and was made inactive.

And after inactives were submitted, the team saw starting CB Charvarius Ward knocked out of the game with a concussion. Losing a star player on your defense is already bad enough, but how the injury occurred made it even worse.

Charvarius Ward suffers a concussion pre-game

Ward was warming up for the team’s Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, as he does before each game. When doing a drill, he collided with a Colts player who, for some reason, walked onto the field and wasn’t paying attention to where Ward was. That player has since been revealed to be TE Drew Ogletree.

Ward suffered a concussion and was ruled out. This is especially notable because this is his second concussion of the year, as he missed the team’s Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos due to being in the league’s concussion protocol.

There’s a solid chance he’s also forced to miss the team’s Week 7 matchup vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. Having to play a QB like Justin Herbert without Ward and potentially Kenny Moore II, who has missed multiple weeks already with an Achilles injury, would be less than ideal.
