Indianapolis Colts running back Spencer Ware will miss the entire 2019 season with an ankle surgery requiring surgery. He's on the physically unable to perform list; however, the seven-year NFL back is looking for an injury settlement with Indianapolis, per ESPN's Ian Rapoport, which would give him the opportunity to sign elsewhere in the league and play for a team after his 5-6 week recovery.

Ware, 27, previously played for the Seattle Seahawks in 2013 and the Kansas City Chiefs for four seasons before signing with the Colts in April 2019. The former sixth-round pick by the Seahawks took to Twitter to mass-express his feelings on his injury, calling it a “minor” setback.

“I am NOT done for season!,” Ware tweeted, emphasis his. “When things happen you have to adjust and treat accordingly. I'm going to play THIS YEAR, so there are things that need to be done before that happens that'll put me in the best case scenario. MINOR, MINOR, MINOR setback because of timing.”
