The Indianapolis Colts announced on Thursday that the team has placed promising rookie tight end Drew Ogletree on injured reserve with a torn ACL.
Ogletree suffered the non-contact knee injury during Wednesday’s joint training camp practice against the Detroit Lions—and the fear of a season-ending injury was later confirmed by an MRI yesterday evening.
It’s a tough break for the 2022 6th round pick out of Youngstown State, who was having an impressive training camp for the Colts—and was quickly ascending the positional depth chart as it relates to garnering first-team playing time (although Indianapolis figures to deploy each tight end differently according to each’s best respective skill-set, to be fair).
