Footage emerges of brutal collision during warmups that left Colts star concussed
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward took the biggest hit of the game on Sunday despite not taking the field for their Week 6 contest against the Arizona Cardinals.
Ward collided with Colts tight end Drew Ogletree as their squad warmed up before kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. Ward and Ogletree were running routes separately and had their eyes focused on their respective balls, which were both thrown at about the same spot.
Ogletree tried to get out of the way at the last second, but his momentum put him right into Ward’s path. The 6’5″ tight end’s shoulder appeared to slam violently into Ward’s head.
Ward looked dazed as Colts medical personnel attended to him. He was later diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals.

Indianapolis definitely could have used the Pro Bowl cornerback’s services against Arizona. Cardinals backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns as the visitors sliced up the Colts’ secondary.
The Colts’ offense picked up the slack in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Cardinals 14-3 to secure a 31-27 victory.
Ward wasn’t the only player who suffered a strange injury during warmups. Colts backup QB Anthony Richardson hurt his eye in a bizarre band work mishap.
Dak Prescott’s Incredible Feat Overshadowed by Cowboys’ Defensive Struggles

Dallas Cowboys fans should be basking in the exceptional play of quarterback Dak Prescott over the past three weeks. However, the Cowboys wrapped up the last three weeks with a 1-1-1 record, which includes a lone victory over the winless New York Jets and a loss to the previously sub-.500 Carolina Panthers.
Over that span, Prescott has reeled off a staggering 10 touchdown passes and zero interceptions while rushing for one additional score. It's a record-setting three-game span for Prescott, but not in the way the Cowboys, their struggling defense and frustrated fanbase would like.
As ESPN's Todd Archer highlighted, according to ESPN Research, Prescott is the first quarterback to account for 11 or more passing/rushing touchdowns with no turnovers, and hold a non-winning record in a three-game stretch.
What Cowboys' issues does this Dak Prescott feat highlight?
This highlights an issue that was almost expected after the team traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, it's unknown if Parsons would have even been able to factor in enough to impact the results.
The Cowboys gave up 40 points in their overtime tie against the Green Bay Packers, but it was the porous effort against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6 that highlighted all of the struggles.
In Dallas' 30-27 loss to quarterback Bryce Young and their former starting running back Rico Dowdle, the defense simply had no answers. Young threw three touchdown passes while Dowdle tormented the Cowboys' defense. While owner Jerry Jones said the trade of Parsons addressed the team's run defense, it's hard to envision that he expected Dowdle to rip off 183 rushing yards on 30 carries.
For good measure, Dowdle also led the Panthers in receiving, catching four passes for 56 yards and one touchdown. It was an incredible revenge game from Dowdle, and an even worse performance from the Cowboys' defense.
Prescott is playing at an elite level, and maybe more than any year in his career, his exceptional play is being wasted by a woeful defense. Prescott is being dealt the same hand Tony Romo received throughout his career, and Jones refuses to acknowledge it.
