Colts safety Malik Hooker suffered a torn Achilles in the 28-11 win against the Vikings on Sunday. He will miss the remainder of the season.
This a brutal blow for Hooker, who entered the season with a lot to prove in a contract year. The Colts didn’t pick up his fifth-year option, which makes him a free agent following the conclusion of the 2020 season.
With Hooker now out for the season, the Colts are likely to turn to rookie Julian Blackmon, who played 63% of the snaps in Week 2 and was the main replacement for Hooker
