2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Colts in March of 2025.
Working with trainer
Ward (concussion) was spotted doing work on the field with a trainer Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward has missed each of the Colts' last four games and remains on the injured reserve list due to a concussion, but Wednesday's workout suggests he may be nearing a return. The Middle Tennessee product must stay on IR for at least one more game, making the Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs his earliest possible return. Ward will likely be designated to return from IR in the near future if he continues to progress.

Ward turned in his best season in 2023 both as a pro and since joining the 49ers as a free agent one year prior. The 27-year-old recorded 72 tackles while posting a career-best five interceptions across 17 starts. Ward underwent offseason core muscle surgery, but all indications are that the team's top corner will be ready for training camp. The final year of Ward's three-year contract with San Francisco will be 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May want to play closer to home
Ward could prioritize being closer to his girlfriend and their newborn son in Texas when choosing a landing spot in free agency, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The couple endured an unimaginable tragedy in October when they lost their one-year-old daughter, so Ward's desire to be near his family is entirely understandable. The 28-year-old cornerback is likely to draw plenty of interest in free agency, but it's not clear if either the Texans or Cowboys have Ward on their radar.
