Guard Jack Mewhort presents one of Chris Ballard’s toughest decisions this offseason.
Mewhort has played well, for the most part, during his four seasons with the Colts after being selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. However, he was sent to injured reserve after Week 5 this season due to a nagging knee injury.
Mewhort played pretty poorly over the first five games of 2017, but that can probably be explained by his knee injury bothering him and affecting his play.
We don’t really know how Mewhort is recovering from that knee injury, and that will be a key factor in whether he’s given a contract extension.
