Blackmon exited Indianapolis’ Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a shoulder injury, and now the third-year safety is set to miss the rest of the 2023 regular season after being placed on injured reserve.
Although Blackmon’s regular season is over, if Indianapolis were to make the playoffs, there is a chance he could return, per James Boyd, a Colts writer for The Athletic.
