Overview
- Mason suffered multiple‑ligament damage to his left knee when players rolled into him on the final play of the Colts’ preseason opener and was fitted with a brace after imaging.
- He has not missed work, returned to the next practice, and is coaching from the press box for the remainder of the preseason.
- Mason called this his seventh major left‑knee injury and said prior ACL tears and later hits ended his playing career and shaped his move into coaching.
- He does not plan to have surgery for the new injury and expects to resume his normal sideline role when the regular season begins on Sept. 13.
- The Colts are monitoring his rehab and may shift in‑game special‑teams duties to assistants if his mobility is limited, which could affect punt and kicking decisions early in the season.
