In a disappointing turn of events, the Indianapolis Colts announced that cornerback Charvarius Ward will miss their game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a concussion sustained during pregame warmups. The injury occurred shortly before kickoff, leaving the team without the opportunity to replace him.
Colts’ Cornerback Situation
Ward, who was not listed as inactive prior to the game, has had a solid season so far. He has recorded 13 tackles and defended three passes in his three appearances this year. Unfortunately, with his sudden absence, the Colts face a challenge in their defensive lineup.
Impact on Game Strategy
Alongside Ward’s concussion, cornerback Kenny Moore is also inactive for this matchup. This leaves the Colts with limited options. The available cornerbacks for the game now include:
- Mekhi Blackmon
- Jonathan Edwards
- Cameron Mitchell
- Chris Lammons
The Colts aim to improve their season record to 5-1, but this defensive setback poses a significant challenge against the Cardinals. The team will need to rely heavily on their remaining players to adapt and perform under pressure.
