Darius Leonard Has Surgery On Ankle
3 years agoIndianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle) underwent a "small procedure on his ankle" and will miss some early training camp practices. General manager Chris Ballard said the team will continue to monitor Leonard. It's something to watch, but it shouldn't deter fantasy managers from taking him as one of the first individual defensive players off the board in those formats. The 25-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro. He missed a few games with groin and back injuries in 2020, but he still managed to finish as a top-10 fantasy linebacker with 132 tackles (86 solo), two fumble recoveries and three sacks in 14 games for Indy. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback that puts him in danger for Week 1, Leonard will remain a highly coveted IDP asset.
