Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The Indianapolis Colts activated cornerback Charvarius Ward from injured reserve and lifted his questionable designation for Sunday's game against the host Kansas City Chiefs.
Indianapolis (8-2) also waived cornerback Cameron Mitchell to make room for Ward, who was placed on injured reserve Oct. 18 with a concussion. Ward was injured during warmups prior to the Colts' victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 12.
Ward, 29, will join Sauce Gardner in the secondary on Sunday against the Chiefs (5-5).
He has 13 tackles and three passes defensed in four games with Indianapolis this season.
Ward is in his first season with the Colts after playing for the Chiefs (2018-21) and San Francisco 49ers (2022-24). He was part of the Kansas City squad that won Super Bowl LIV.
He was a Pro Bowl pick and second-team All-Pro in 2023 when he intercepted a career-best five passes and led the NFL with 23 pass breakups.
Mitchell, 24, has six tackles in six games this season split between the Cleveland Browns and Colts. He has 48 tackles in 36 career games with the same teams.
