Overview

• Rookie safety Trey Washington executed a banned hip-drop tackle on veteran running back Salvon Ahmed during a live developmental drill at Colts training camp in Westfield, Indiana.
• The NFL outlawed hip-drop tackles ahead of the 2024 season after identifying them as high-risk for causing lower-body injuries.
• Ahmed immediately grabbed his right leg, was immobilized with an air cast, and transported to a hospital for X-rays where he remains under medical evaluation.
• Coach Shane Steichen consulted team leaders for about 15 minutes before deciding to continue camp practices and complete a simulated two-minute drill.
• Washington has expressed remorse for the play, and Steichen emphasized that hip-drop tackles are not condoned while no disciplinary measures have been announced.
