INDIANAPOLIS -- Defensive end Samson Ebukam, the Indianapolis Colts' returning sack leader, has sustained a torn Achilles tendon and is expected to miss this season, a team source confirmed to ESPN.
Ebukam's injury occurred during a full-squad period of Sunday's practice and deals a big blow to the Colts' loaded defensive line.
Ebukam had a team-high 9.5 sacks in 2023, easily a career high for the veteran, who was entering his eighth season. Ebukam also registered a team-high three forced fumbles and trailed only three-time Pro Bowl selection DeForest Buckner with 17 quarterback hits.
NFL Network first reported the news of Ebukam's injury.
