Colts Sign Receiver Greg Ward, Defensive End Rivers

The Indianapolis Colts have signed former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward, who spent three seasons with the Eagles, recording 88 receptions for 768 yards and 10 touchdowns. Ward's signing is notable given his previous experience under Colts head coach Shane Steichen, who was the Eagles’ offensive coordinator during Ward's tenure. Alongside Ward, the Colts also added defensive end Derek Rivers while waiving safety Kendall Brooks and wide receiver Ethan Fernea. Ward, who missed the 2022 season due to injury, aims to secure a spot on the Colts' active roster during training camp. The Colts are hopeful that Ward's skills as a returner will be enhanced under the new kickoff rules. His previous performance and familiarity with Steichen's system may bolster his chances of making the team.
