Samson Ebukam Suffers Torn Achilles
5 months agoIndianapolis Colts veteran defensive end Samson Ebukam (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in training camp practice on Sunday, according to a source. Ebukam will now miss the entire 2024 season as a result. It's an early blow for Indy's defensive-line depth. The 29-year-old former fourth-round pick (125th overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 out of Eastern Washington was hoping to build off a career year in 2023 with the Colts in which he set career-highs in total tackles (57), solo tackles (39), sacks (9.5), tackles for loss (10) and QB hits (17) in 17 regular-season starts. Ebukam also forced three fumbles. He was projected to start off the edge for the Colts this year, so Indy will now be looking for someone to step up as a pass-rusher in his place this season.
