8 Aug
Summary
- Colts place RB Salvon Ahmed, CB Justin Walley on injured reserve
- Ahmed injured ankle, Walley tore ACL in joint practice with Ravens
- Colts sign 4 new players, including OT Marcellus Johnson, CB B.J. Mayes
In a devastating turn of events for the Indianapolis Colts, the team has been forced to place two key players on injured reserve, ending their seasons before it even began. Running back Salvon Ahmed and cornerback Justin Walley, a third-round draft pick, both suffered significant injuries during the preseason.
Ahmed injured his ankle on a tackle in practice, while Walley tore his ACL in a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this week. The Colts also waived linebacker Liam Anderson with an injury designation after he left Thursday's preseason game with a hamstring issue.
To fill the roster gaps, the Colts have signed several new players, including offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson, cornerback B.J. Mayes, and running backs Nate Noel and Nay'Quan Wright. These additions aim to bolster the team's depth as they navigate the challenges posed by these unexpected injuries.
