Overview

  • Walley, the Colts’ third-round pick from Minnesota, suffered the torn ACL during the preseason opener after exiting joint practice sessions with a knee issue.
  • The rookie was on track to start opposite Charvarius Ward after impressing in camp and beating out competition from JuJu Brents and Jaylon Jones.
  • With Walley sidelined, Brents and Jones remain the only outside corner prospects despite both missing practices due to hamstring injuries.
  • Quarterback Anthony Richardson also exited the Ravens game with a dislocated pinky, adding to Indianapolis’s preseason injury woes.
  • Indianapolis had bolstered its secondary this offseason with big-ticket signings of Charvarius Ward and Camryn Bynum plus the re-signing of Kenny Moore II.
