UPDATE: Malik Hooker and Matthew Adams have been ruled OUT for the remainder of the game.


Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker suffered an Achilles injury against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and is questionable to return in Week 2.

Hooker is entering a big year after the Colts decided against picking up his fifth-year option, which makes him a free agent following the 2020 season.

With Hooker questionable, rookie Julian Blackmon will replace him in the defensive backfield.

Hopefully this injury isn’t too serious, especially after the Colts just lost Marlon Mack to a torn Achilles tendon. We will update this
