Dec. 10 (UPI) -- The Indianapolis Colts placed cornerback Charvarius Ward on injured reserve and signed quarterback Brett Rypien from their practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.
The Colts also signed kicker Blake Grupe to their active roster and signed quarterback Philip Rivers and center Jimmy Morrissey for their practice squad.
Ward sustained his third concussion of the season and is required to miss at least four games due to being placed injured reserve. The veteran cornerback, who signed a three-year, $42.5 million deal with the Colts last off-season in free agency, totaled 25 combined tackles, seven passes defensed and a fumble recovery over seven starts this season.
Colts coach Shane Steichen said Ward reported concussion symptoms Monday.
