It sounds like defensive lineman Jihad Ward is heading for injured reserve. Ward was scootering around the locker room on Tuesday with a boot on his injured left ankle. The promising young defensive lineman said his injuries from Sunday involve “bones and ligaments.” Ward had 3.0 sacks in sub packages for the Colts this season. The 24-year-old defensive lineman is a restricted free agent in 2019.

That stinks for him he was having a good season. I hope Autry and Lewis can come back soon. We're thin on 3-techniques.

[NewColtsFan]

Damn!    He’s been

making an impact on his Mideast amount of snaps...   hope he’s healthy for 2019....

 

Hope we can get Lewis and Autry back SOON!!    

[Jackie Daytona]

Mideast amount of snaps?

Auto-correct always jumping to conclusions.

I can't wait until after next year's draft when we don't have to worry about losing a guy like Ward.

Ward isn't a JAG....

 

He's a former 2nd Round pick with loads of talent who played out of position in Oakland who has shown well here in Indy as a UT.....his more natural position.

[NewEra]

Ugh, and another one and another one....another one bites the dust

[Introspect]

Was a quality player for us.... Damn

 I don’t know how auto correct can take “modest” and turn it into Mideast, but there it is!!

 

[dodsworth]

Keep churning Ballard, obviously it's gonna be this way the

rest of the year...

[Trueman]

Man.... I really like this guy. 

 

[colt18]

Damn, he playing so well! Could've really used him going for. 

 

I hope we retain him after this season. He's been balling for us, can be apart of a nice rotation next season.

[csmopar]

Someone get these boys some milk...

[Defjamz26]

Smh. He was a having a solid season. I liked him better than Hassan Ridgeway.

[NorthernBlue]

So who else we got for 3 Techs?

[lollygagger8]

Sunuva.......he was playing well too!  

[pgt_rob]

Yikes... He was coming on to a great season for us too.

These folks never seem to surprise me. They also had a joke about Malik Hooker last year as well. Smh The next generation is in for some tough times.

 "Jihad Ward will be one of the top DT's in the NFL" - Zack Martin

who practiced against him in Dallas.  https://247sports.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/Article/Zack-Martin-Jihad-Ward-will-be-one-of-the-top-DTs-in-the-NFL-119620500/

 

I don't know if that's true or not, but I've been pleased with Ward's hustle and instincts and have been following him since he signed here.  Mike Phair, Colts d-line coach, was Ward's d-line coach at U of Illinois.  Eberflus watched him when they were both in Dallas.  Clearly the Colts coaches and front office believe in him.

 

Ward is raw but I think he might be a sleeper.  Let's hope he comes back healthy!

   I noticed him when I went to the Redskins game. He was really quick on a sack he had.

   Hopefully Lewis will get back and help.
