Ward played three games with the Colts this season before he was waived last week. He was a second-round pick by the Oakland Raiders in the 2016 draft (44th overall) and played all 16 games as a rookie including 13 starts, finishing with 30 tackles. However, Ward played just five games in 2017 following toe surgery and in 2018 he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Ward was one of Dallas' final roster cuts in 2018, then he was signed to the Colts practice squad before finishing last season on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
