Ready to continue NFL career
Ward (concussion) is present for OTAs and has decided to continue his football career after contemplating retirement, ESPN.com's Stephen Holder reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward's last two seasons were a nightmare even though he largely remained effective when on the field. His daughter passed away in October 2024, during his final season with the 49ers, and Ward then played just seven games in 2025 for the Colts while spending most of the season in concussion protocol. He spoke with reporters Wednesday for the first time since the end of the 2025 campaign, confirming that he's back with the Colts for another season and has high hopes for a secondary that also features CB Sauce Gardner. The Colts recently released long-time slot corner Kenny Moore, as they were unwilling to commit three starter-level contracts to the same position long-term.

2020
Indianapolis made Ward one of the NFL's highest-paid cornerbacks via a three-year, $60 million contract this offseason in attempt to finally shore up a secondary that's ranked among the team's weaknesses in recent seasons. Hamstring and knee injuries, as well as personal issues, forced him to miss five games in 2024, but he played all 17 games with the 49ers in both 2023 and 2022, while ranking as one of the league's top outside corners. He'll form a formidable starting tandem on the outside across from Jaylon Jones.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Improved mindset for '26 season
Ward, who's struggled through personal and physical difficulties the last two years, said Wednesday he's in a much better headspace ahead of the 2026 season, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran cornerback, who just turned 30 on Saturday, has played in only 19 of a possible 34 regular-season games in the last two campaigns with the 49ers and Colts after losing his 23-month-old daughter to a heart problem two years ago and then suffering multiple concussions during his Indianapolis debut campaign in 2025. Ward was contemplating retirement early in the offseason, but he noted Wednesday that after working on himself and making arrangements for his family to be with him in Indianapolis, he decided to continue his career.
