INDIANAPOLIS - Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard has made "incremental progress" in his return from back surgery but remains unable to "play winning football and feel confident," coach Frank Reich said Friday.
Leonard was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs despite having practiced with the Colts for the past three weeks, prompting questions about the timeline for the three-time first-team All-Pro selection.
Reich spoke expansively about Leonard's status for the first time in weeks, saying the team is making its own evaluations of Leonard's ability to return to action as well as closely following the player's guidance.
