Despite suffering three concussions during the 2025 season, which led to uncertainty about his NFL future, Colts officials Chris Ballard and Shane Steichen report that Ward is in a good frame of mind and looking to play in 2026.
"He's in a good frame of mind. I'm not in the hypotheticals of what's gonna happen, but his frame of mind is really good right now," Ballard said, while Steichen added, "I had conversations with him a couple days ago, and he's in a good headspace, feeling good."
