Indianapolis Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward shared his honest thoughts about his second concussion he sustained this season. During Friday's press conference, the veteran cornerback spoke about the symptoms he suffered during this period of time and described the situation as "scary".

Ward also revealed that at one point in time, he was unsure if he would be able to return to the gridiron to play football again.

"The one I had the second time, I was throwing up, getting dizzy. I was getting dizzy for like a month. That wasn't normal," Ward said. "So that was a real deal traumatic injury for me. Lot of emotions and stuff like that. It was pretty tough, but I'm feeling good now.
