Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward sidelined by back injury

Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward did not participate in practice on August 20, remaining in street clothes and on the sidelines. This marks his absence from practice for 10 days due to ongoing back pain, which initially caused him to miss a recent joint practice with the New England Patriots. Head coach Shane Steichen has not provided further details on the injury's severity or location and stated that surgery is unlikely at this time. Ward missed significant time last season due to concussions and has a history of injuries throughout his career.
