The Indianapolis Colts have taken swift action to address the injury of linebacker Carlies, who will be sidelined with a torn labrum, by resigning veteran linebacker Shaquille Leonard. Leonard, who has been battling injuries in recent years, returns to the team with hopes of providing leadership and experience to stabilize the linebacker corps.
In addition to Leonard’s return, the Colts have also promoted Noah Sewell, the younger brother of Detroit Lions star Penei Sewell, to bolster their linebacker depth. Sewell, known for his strong physicality and ability to cover ground, could bring fresh energy and potential to the defense.
These strategic moves, with Leonard’s veteran presence and Sewell’s promising upside, are designed to fill the gap left by Carlies' injury and keep the Colts' defense competitive for the remainder of the season in excess with around a 4 week window for Carlies to recover.
