CB Charvarius Ward in concussion protocol

Ward finished the Colts' Week 1 win without a reported injury. But to begin the week, he self-reported symptoms, and it was made clear that he had a concussion. He was not able to participate in practice on Wednesday, which makes his chances of clearing protocol even less likely, but not yet impossible. The NFL has a five-step process for a player to clear protocol, which is outlined below.

• 1. Symptom Limited Activity
• 2. Aerobic Exercise
• 3. Football-Specific Exercise
• 4. Club-Based Non-Contact Training Drills
• 5. Full Football Activity/Clearance

Without Ward participating in practice, it remains in either step one or two of the protocol. If he practices tomorrow, he will give himself a chance, but concussions aren't something you want to push a player back faster than his body is telling him. Every concussion is different, and getting Ward healthy should be priority number one. If that means holding him out all week to do so, then so be it.
