Stock Up: LB Bobby Okereke

The Colts linebacker corps has proven not only to be a young strength, but the development of the depth pieces is beginning to show through as well. Okereke put that on full display Sunday while also coming through with a huge play in the first quarter.

Coming through on a blitz, Okereke chased down Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill for a sack but instead of simply taking him down, the rookie third-round pick also went for the ball and was able to force it out. Veteran defensive end Justin Houston recovered the fumble.

The Stanford product also played roughly half of the snaps (29) on Sunday, which shows the Colts are getting more comfortable using three linebackers in the middle of the field.
