Colts Place DE Tyquan Lewis on Injured Reserve Amid Defensive Line Woes

Indianapolis Colts' defensive end Tyquan Lewis is out for at least four games with an elbow injury, adding to the team's mounting injuries on the defensive line.

Overview

  • Lewis sustained the elbow injury during Sunday's win against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will be out until at least Week 9.
  • This marks the third starting defensive lineman the Colts have placed on injured reserve this season, following Samson Ebukam and DeForest Buckner.
  • Lewis has been a key player for the Colts, starting all four games this season and recording 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
  • To fill the gap, the Colts signed veteran defensive tackle Adam Gotsis to the 53-man roster and added cornerback Kelvin Joseph to the practice squad.
  • The Colts may need to rely on rookie defensive end Laiatu Latu and other players to step up as they deal with ongoing injuries on the defensive line.
