Last Sunday’s pregame mishaps have resulted in another Colts player landing on injured reserve. On Saturday, Indianapolis placed starting cornerback Charvarius Ward on IR after he suffered a concussion during warmups ahead of the Week 6 win over the Cardinals.
Ward, who signed with the Colts in the offseason following three seasons with the 49ers and four years with the Chiefs before that, will miss at least four games. The Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro in 2023 has been a key contributor to the team’s defense.
To fill Ward’s roster spot, the Colts signed veteran running back Ameer Abdullah from the practice squad. Additionally, cornerback Cameron Mitchell and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.
The 5-1 Colts are set to visit the 4-2 Chargers on Sunday, looking to build on their strong start to the season.
Earlier in the week, the Colts also placed former starting quarterback Anthony Richardson on injured reserve. Richardson suffered an orbital fracture due to an elastic band malfunction in the locker room before the Week 6 game. Rookie Riley Leonard will now serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Daniel Jones.
