Questionable for Week 5 Ward (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Impact Ward registered an LP-LP-FP practice log, and while he's been tagged as questionable, he's probably closer toward probable for Sunday's game given his full practice participation Friday. If he's not cleared to play, then Cam Taylor-Britt would be the top candidate to start opposite Sauce Gardner at outside cornerback.

Cleared to play against Houston Ward (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Ward tweaked his groin during the Colts' overtime loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. He drew the questionable tag for Sunday's AFC South tilt following a DNP-LP-FP practice log, and the veteran cornerback has been given the green light to play after going through pregame warmups. Cam Taylor-Britt will operate in a depth role behind Ward and Sauce Gardner for Week 3.

Impact Ward drew the questionable tag for Week 3 following a DNP-LP-FP practice log. He's working through a groin injury that he picked up in Week 2 against the Chiefs, and if he cannot play Sunday, then Cam Taylor-Britt would likely start at outside cornerback opposite Sauce Gardner.

Cleared from injury report Ward (back) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens.
Impact Ward was battling a back injury. However, his absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates he should be good to go for the opener versus Baltimore. The 30-year-old veteran appeared in seven regular-season games for the Colts during the 2025 campaign, compiling 25 total tackles.

Indianapolis Colts fans get a bittersweet Charvarius Ward injury update The Indianapolis Colts missed cornerback Charvarius Ward for a chunk of training camp, but how long his return will last is in question.
AUGUST 26 • HORSESHOEHEROES.COM
Returns to practice Tuesday Ward (back) is back participating in individual drills at practice Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Ward dealt with back tightness during the offseason and has continued to battle it this summer, causing him to miss the past couple weeks of action. The Colts will now aim to get Ward ready for the regular-season opener 19 days from now on Sept. 13 against the Ravens. Ward is expected to bookend Sauce Gardner at cornerback for Indianapolis.
AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE
No timeline for return Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters Tuesday that Ward (back) does not have a timeline for return, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ward has not practiced in training camp due to a back issue that also prevented him from participating in minicamp in June. He's unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason opener against New England, and it remains to be seen whether Ward will suit up for any of the Colts' exhibition games. Cam Taylor-Britt (suspension), Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards will all see more reps with the first-team defense at outside cornerback for as long as Ward is sidelined.
