The Indianapolis Colts lost a key member of their secondary on Sunday during warmups before their Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward unexpectedly collided with tight end Drew Ogletree as they were getting ready for the game. He was on the ground for a few moments before his teammates and the team’s medical staff helped him up to evaluate him.
