Colts HC Shane Steichen announced they are designating CB Charvarius Ward and LB Jaylon Carlies to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, per Mike Chappell.
This opens both players’ 21-day windows to practice before being activated.
Ward landed on injured reserve last month due to a concussion he suffered in warmups.
Ward, 29, wound up signing on with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State back in 2018.
He signed a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Cowboys but was traded during training camp to the Chiefs.
Ward returned to the Chiefs in 2022 on a second-round restricted tender worth $3.384 million for the 2021 season. He later signed a three-year deal worth up to $42 million with the 49ers.
Again testing the free agent market, Ward signed a three-year $60 million deal with the Colts this past offseason.
In 2025, Ward has appeared in four games for the Colts and recorded nine tackles.
