Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam, who led the team with 9.5 sacks last season, has a torn Achilles, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Stephen joined ESPN in 2022, covering the Indianapolis Colts and NFL at large. Stephen finished first place in column writing in the 2015 Indiana Associated Press Media Editors competition, and he is a previous top-10 winner in explanatory journalism in the Associated Press Sports Editors national contest. He has chronicled the NFL since 2005, covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2005-2013 and the Colts since 2013.
Ebukam's injury occurred during a full-squad period of Sunday's practice and deals a big blow to the Colts' loaded defensive line. Ebukam had a team-high 9.5 sacks in 2023, easily a career high for the veteran, who was entering his eighth season. Ebukam also registered a team-high three forced fumbles and trailed only three-time Pro Bowl selectionThe Colts have been touting their deep defensive line all offseason, projecting it to be one of the strengths of their veteran team. It still remains relatively deep even after the loss of Ebukam, but his valuable production will need to be replaced.
