Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward is questionable to return after suffering a groin injury during the game against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 21. Ward was not seen on the sidelines following the injury, which occurred after a lengthy Chiefs drive. His absence creates a significant gap in the Colts' defense, as he is a veteran starter. If sidelined for an extended period, Justin Walley is expected to replace Ward outside, with Cam Taylor-Britt moving to the nickel position. The Colts previously experimented with this lineup during training camp, but both players have struggled recently.
