The Indianapolis Colts lost starting edge rusher Samson Ebukam to a torn Achilles during Sunday's training camp practice.
And they saw another edge rusher leave practice on a cart, this time second-year player Titus Leo.
The Colts drafted Leo with the 211th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. He missed his entire rookie season with an injury after spending his five-year collegiate career at Wagner from 2018 to 2022.

If Leo's injury requires season-ending surgery, he will join Daniel Scott as the second Colts 2023 draft pick to miss both of their first two seasons in the NFL. If Leo does, in fact, end up having to miss the entire season, it would be heartbreaking for the young pass rusher. Especially with the extra snap opportunity that Ebukam heading to the IR brings for multiple fringe roster players in the edge room.
What does Samson Ebukam’s season-ending injury mean for the Colts going forward?
The Indianapolis Colts will be without their 2023 sack leader for the 2024 season, with the news of Samson Ebukam tearing his Achilles.
