News

  • Good to go

    Leonard (ankle/illness) is absent from the Colts' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

    Analysis: Leonard was absent from practice most of the week due to a non-COVID 19 illness but returned in limited fashion Friday. His absence from the injury report indicates the team was erring on the side of caution earlier in the week. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.

  • Battling non-COVID illness

    Leonard (ankle) is not practicing Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Leonard sat out Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and is now also dealing with an illness. The 26-year-old may need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend against the Rams.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Leonard (ankle) was unable to practice Wednesday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Leonard dealt with a nagging ankle injury ahead of and during the Colts' season-opening loss to the Seahawks. The interior linebacker did not participate in practice Wednesday as a result of the ankle injury getting aggravated. If Leonard is unable to play Sunday, expect E.J. Speed to fill in at the weakside linebacker position.

  • Underwhelming production Sunday

    Leonard had five total tackles in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Leonard didn't have a game last season with fewer than six tackles when he played a full game, so his stat line was a little underwhelming despite playing on all 54 of the defense's snaps. He also allowed all three passes targeted at him to be completed, according to Pro Football Focus. He's healthy and still the cornerstone of the defense, so he should improve.

  • Participating in practice

    Leonard (ankle) is on the field for Tuesday's practice, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Leonard underwent an ankle procedure late July. but he's now ready to handle practice reps for the first time this training camp. Barring any setbacks, the 26-year-old should have plenty of time to get back to full form before Week 1. Leonard and the Colts agreed on a five-year, $98.5 million contract extension Sunday, making him the highest paid linebacker in the league.

  • Becomes highest-paid inside 'backer

    Leonard (ankle) and the Colts agreed Sunday on a five-year, $98.5 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Now that Leonard and the 49ers' Fred Warner (five years, $95 million) both have agreed to massive extensions within the past three weeks, the market for inside linebackers has been reset. Leonard barely edges out Warner as the highest-paid player at the position, a just reward for a player who has earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in addition to two first-team All-Pro nods across his first three seasons in the league. Leonard underwent a procedure on his ankle shortly before…read more

  • Sidelined after ankle procedure

    Leonard had a small procedure on his ankle and will miss time early in training camp, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The ankle injury is said to be minor according to GM Chris Ballard. Leonard is expected to miss only a few practices, but it's something to monitor early in training camp. He missed time last season with groin and back injuries, so the ankle issue is new.

  • Erupts in playoff-clinching win

    Leonard had 10 tackles (eight solo), one sack, two defended passes and a forced fumble during Week 17's 28-14 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Leonard closed out the regular season with four straight performances of double-digit tackles. Despite having missed two games this season, he ranks eighth in the league in terms of total stops. Leonard's game-changing showcase against the Jaguars earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week for the third time in his career.

  • Stacks up 10 stops

    Leonard made 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: With a third straight double-digit tackling performance, Leonard now has produced at least 121 tackles in each of his first three seasons in the NFL. The South Carolina State product continues to be a top-tier IDP option, and he'll look to finish strong against the Jaguars in Week 17.

  • Full practice to start week

    Leonard (back) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Leonard left with a back injury late in last week's win over the Raiders, but coach Frank Reich said the injury was minor after the game, and the linebacker's full participation in practice to start the week confirms that notion. The engine of the Colts' defense should be good to go Sunday against the Texans.

  • Not dealing with serious injury

    Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Leonard didn't suffer a serious back injury during Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It appears Leonard will be ready to go for the Week 15 matchup against Houston, although he'll be closely monitored during the practice week. If he suffers a setback and is sidelined, Matthew Adams is likely the next man up at weak-side linebacker.

  • Leaves with back injury

    Leonard (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Leonard exited Sunday's contest late in the fourth quarter with the Colts up 44-20, so it seems likely that he won't retake the field. He left with a team-high 11 tackles (eight solo).

  • Has 15 total tackles

    Leonard had 15 total tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

  • Will play Sunday

    Leonard (groin) will suit up against the Lions on Sunday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Leonard resumed practicing in full Thursday, so official confirmation that he'll make his return against the Lions doesn't come as much of a surprise. The third-year pro hasn't played since Week 4 against the Bears. As long as he's on the field, Leonard is a must-start fantasy option in most IDP formats.

  • Back to practicing in full

    Leonard (groin) was a full participant during the Colts' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: The one-time All-Pro has been unable to suit up since sustaining a groin injury during Indianapolis' Week 4 win over the Bears, but it appears he is on a trajectory to make his much-anticipated return against Detroit in Week 8. Leonard made his initial foray into resuming practice last Thursday, but this marks the 25-year-old's first full session since sustaining the injury. The Colts' defense is still tied for third in the NFL in DVOA, but the unit has surrendered 59 combined points the past…read more

  • Limited participant Wednesday

    Leonard (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old missed the two games leading up to the Colts' bye in Week 7, but he's back on the field after some extra recovery time. Leonard may need to progress to full practice participation by the end of the week to avoid an injury designation, but he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

  • Won't play Week 6

    Leonard (groin) is inactive Week 6 against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Leonard didn't see the practice field all week and was given a "doubtful" tag heading into the contest, so it's no surprise to see him miss his second consecutive game, especially with a bye week on tap in Week 7. In Leonard's absence last week against the Browns, Zaire Franklin saw more snaps, but it was Bobby Okereke who benefitted statistically, racking up a season-high 10 combined tackles.

  • Likely out again Week 6

    Leonard (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was unable to play last week against the Browns and is expected to miss his second straight game due to the groin injury. Zaire Franklin saw increased defensive snaps in his absence and figures to do so again Sunday with Leonard unlikely to play.

  • Misses another practice session

    Leonard (groin) did not participate during Indianapolis' practice session Thursday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Keefer expanded by stating that it's a "long shot" the star linebacker will be able to suit up during the Colts' Week 6 matchup against the Bengals. Leonard suffered the injury after playing just 28 defensive snaps during Indianapolis' Week 4 win against the Bears, but the Colts defense still held Chicago to a measly 28 rushing yards on 16 attempts. Week 5 was a different story, as the Browns racked up 124 team rushing yards with Leonard inactive.

  • Still not practicing

    Leonard (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan reports.

    Analysis: Leonard hurt his groin against the Bears in Week 4, and he's still not practicing after missing last week's loss to the Browns. The Colts will hope to have the star linebacker back for at least one of the next two practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, though the team could opt to play things safe with Leonard with a bye coming up in Week 7.

  • Not playing Week 5

    Leonard (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old sustained the groin injury during the Colts' Week 4 win over the Bears and will miss at least one game as a result. Leonard will represent a significant absence in the middle of the Indianapolis defense, especially since reserve linebackers Jordan Glasgow, Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed have combined for only a handful of defensive snaps this season.

  • Groin still bothersome

    Leonard (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Leonard left in the second quarter of last week's game against the Bears, and the standout linebacker isn't feeling healthy enough to practice to start the week. He'll hope to raise his practice participation as the week goes on, but a potential Leonard absence Sunday would be a big blow to Indianapolis' defense against the run-heavy Browns attack.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Leonard (groin) is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Leonard was initially listed as questionable after leaving Sunday's game in the first half but was ultimately ruled out midway through the third quarter. The Colts will hope for the star linebacker to be able to return Week 5 at Cleveland. He had a solo tackle before leaving the field.

  • Exits with groin injury

    Leonard was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Bears with a groin injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Leonard recorded a solo tackle before exiting in the second quarter. Zaire Franklin, Jordan Glasgow and E.J. Speed are all candidates to take over at weak-side linebacker for the time being.

  • Dominant in pass coverage

    Leonard had six total tackles, a tackle for a loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: While Leonard got fewer tackles than he averaged per game last year (9.3 per game), he was outstanding in pass coverage while allowing just two of four targets against him to be completed for a total of nine yards.

  • Nine tackles in season opener

    Leonard had nine total tackles and a QB hurry in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Leonard did give up five receptions on all five passes targeted at him for 52 yards, according to Pro Football Focus, but otherwise had a solid game. He picked up where he left off last season, when he averaged 9.3 tackles per game.

  • Picks off fifth pass of season

    Leonard tallied six tackles (three solo) and an interception in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Leonard's five interceptions this season leads all linebackers. He has shown a keen ability to find the ball so far in his career with 13 takeaways in his first two seasons. He also finishes the campaign with 121 total tackles, his second straight 120-plus tackle season to begin his pro career.

  • Practices in full

    Leonard (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Leonard was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's estimated practice, and he's already resumed practicing in full. The second-year pro is on track to draw his usual start against Jacksonville on Sunday.

  • Estimated as DNP

    Leonard (back) is listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Leonard exited last weekend's contest against the Panthers to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was cleared in short order and ultimately finished the game with 11 tackles to his name. While it isn't clear where this back injury came from, Leonard's status for Sunday's season finale in Jacksonville won't be too much of a concern unless he also is unable to practice Thursday and Friday.

  • Compiles double-digit tackles

    Leonard notched 11 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Leonard has compiled 115 tackles (68 solo) across 12 contests, and he's logged seven games with double-digit stops. The second-year pro will look to finish strong during Week 17's season-finale in Jacksonville.

  • Racks up 12 tackles against Saints

    Leonard tallied 12 tackles (six solo) in Monday's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Leonard's tackle count now sits at 104 for the season, placing him in the top-25 in that category. He also has four interceptions, making him and Joe Schobert the only linebackers with that many picks this year. Leonard will look to continue his production against the Panthers and first-time starting quarterback Will Grier in Week 16.

  • Scores first touchdown

    Leonard had nine tackles (three solo), two interceptions and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Leonard's first pick came on the second play from scrimmage, and he grabbed another one and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown during the second quarter. The 2018 second-round pick hasn't been able to replicate the absurd tackle totals from his rookie campaign, but he's still been a quality IDP option with 92 tackles (57 solo), five sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles in 10 games.

    Leonard had 11 tackles (five solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old posted double-digit tackles for the fifth time this season and provided serious production Sunday despite the Colts' lackluster performance overall. Leonard is tied with Anthony Walker for the team lead in tackles (82) despite missing three games, and he also has five sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

    Leonard (abdomen) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Leonard kicked off the week as a limited participant in practice due to an abdomen issue, but he's already resumed operating without restrictions. Barring any setbacks, expect the star linebacker to draw his usual start during Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.

  • Nursing abdomen injury

    Leonard was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an abdomen injury.

    Analysis: Leonard logged a dominant performance during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he appears to have also picked up an abdomen injury during the contest. It's encouraging that the star linebacker wasn't held out of Wednesday's session entirely. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his level of practice ahead of Sunday's contest against Jacksonville.

He's also recorded two sacks, two defended passes and an interception across that stretch. The second-year pro is primed for a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 10.
