""It's crazy,""
""One moment I'm going for the ball. Next moment I'm knocked out, laying on my back and getting carted off the field in the wheelchair. So, it was crazy. Like I said, that's a big boy. [Ogletree] is a real big boy. I didn't see him coming. I feel like if I had my helmet on and it was like normal football, I would've been good. But it was just me not seeing him coming.""
Charvarius Ward was warming up before the Oct. 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals when he backpedaled into tight end Drew Ogletree, colliding at high speed. The impact left Ward motionless and knocked unconscious; he was carted off the field in a wheelchair. He was ruled out of that day's game, placed on injured reserve a week later, and missed five games. Ward experienced persistent, severe concussion symptoms for weeks. Ward cleared concussion protocol on Friday and is expected to be activated from injured reserve after practicing this week ahead of the Colts' visit to Kansas City.
