Indianapolis Colts defensive back Vontae Davis will miss "multiple weeks" of action due to a groin injury, head coach Chuck Pagano told reporters Tuesday.
Pagano didn't provide a concrete date for the cornerback's potential return to the lineup.
The Colts lean heavily on Davis to guard the opponent's top target with a lack of high-end talent and depth elsewhere in the secondary. It's a crucial role that he struggled to fill at times last season due to a series of injury concerns, though he did play in 14 games.
The 29-year-old University of Illinois product underwent foot surgery during the 2016 offseason.
