The Indianapolis Colts are in good shape before their Week 3 contest against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.

The 2-0 Colts had a couple of key players on the injury report this week, with cornerback Charvarius Ward in the concussion protocol and rookie tight end Tyler Warren battling a toe injury.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, on Saturday, Indianapolis cleared both players to play the Titans.

"Colts removed the questionable tag from TE Tyler Warren, who is now good to go for Sunday’s game against Tennessee," Schefter posted on X. "Colts CB Charvarius Ward Sr. has cleared concussion protocol, and he also will play vs. the Titans."

Charvarius Ward, Tyler Warren could provide boost to Indianapolis Colts against Tennessee Titans

Ward made six total tackles in the Colts' 33-8 blowout of the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, but the All-Pro defender did not play against the Denver Broncos in Week 2. He'll be a key addition in the secondary to help keep Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward in check on Sunday.

Warren has been a big part of the offense early in the season. New quarterback Daniel Jones has given the first-round pick a team-high 16 targets. The former Penn State standout has caught 11 of those targets for 155 yards, leading the Colts in receiving.

Jones and Warren are poised to put together another good effort on Sunday. The Titans rank 20th in passing defense, having given up 474 yards in the first two weeks. That connection could be the key to a win and the Colts continuing to be an early-season surprise.
