Overview

• Indianapolis placed Jaylon Jones on injured reserve after he aggravated a hamstring in the season opener, making him ineligible for at least four games.
• With Charvarius Ward sidelined by a concussion, the Colts plan to lean on Mekhi Blackmon and rookie Johnathan Edwards at cornerback, with Chris Lammons elevated for depth.
• The team filled Jones’ roster spot with undrafted safety Trey Washington, who projects to contribute on special teams.
• Jones reinjured the same hamstring on his sixth special-teams snap and had missed most of training camp with the issue.
• Undrafted rookie Ulysses Bentley IV was elevated at running back again as Tyler Goodson continues elbow rehab, and earlier secondary losses led to the additions of Xavien Howard and traded-for Mekhi Blackmon.
