Charvarius Ward Injury: Hits IR with third concussion

The Colts placed Ward (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday.

As a result of the transaction, Ward will miss the remainder of the regular season, but he will be eligible to return for the playoffs, should the Colts make it. However, he's now been diagnosed with three concussions this season, so even if he clears the five-step protocol within the next few weeks, the Colts could have some reservations about activating him for the postseason. Ward finishes the regular season with 25 tackles (17 solo) and seven passes defensed in seven appearances.
