Indianapolis Colts star linebacker Shaquille Leonard is one of the biggest question marks surrounding the team entering training camp next week, but he posted an update in regards to his rehab progress.
Leonard missed the entire offseason workout program as he continued to work his way back from a second surgery to correct a nerve issue in his back—the same one that limited him to just three games in 2022.
The Maniac posted an update on his progress as he ran through some agility drills.

Nerve issues are always worrisome in the NFL because it’s never a clean-cut rehab process. Players come back from nerve injuries at different rates and at different levels so this is certainly something to continue monitoring.
This video shows Leonard has come a pretty long way since his second surgery, but it also shows he still has work to do in getting back to his pre-injury form—if that’s even a possibility.
Regardless, this is a positive sign that Leonard is potentially closer to returning to the field at some point during training camp.
