The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly placing Samson Ebukam, Jelani Woods, and Cameron McGrone on Injured Reserve, with two of them being designated for return.
, but aside from outright releasing/waiving players, they'll place some on Injured Reserve to preserve their placement with the team for further down the road this season or not until 2025.Ebukam and McGrone are the Colts' two designations for players able to return later in the season. Woods, for a second consecutive season, is out for the year.
Ebukam led the Colts in sacks in 2023 in his first season with the team after signing a three-year deal last offseason. While losing your top returning pass rusher is never a good thing, the Colts did use their first-round pick this spring on defensive end Laiatu Latu, the first defensive player picked in the draft. Latu and Tyquan Lewis have absorbed Ebukam's spot thus far.
Woods and McGrone were both perhaps on the roster bubble , but their injuries allow them to stay on with the Colts rather than being cut. Woods struggled to make an impact throughout training camp this summer after missing all of the 2023 season with hamstring injuries before ultimately suffering a season-ending turf toe injury during the preseason. McGrone has been a key special teams player for the Colts since 2022, being active for 13 games and totaling 2 special teams stops.where Jake Arthur and Zach Hicks hit on all the major topics surrounding this team.
