The #Colts ruled out All-Pro LB Shaquille Leonard (back) for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville. He's missed both games to start the season.

Leonard’s season debut will have to wait another week as the three-time Pro Bowler and First-Team All-Pro selection will continue to nurse a back injury. He’s a significant loss, and the juice has started to head towards Jacksonville a bit on the spread following the announcement of his absence. It will be worth keeping an eye on to see if this number pushes down to -3 before Sunday’s kickoff.
In 2021, Leonard tallied 122 tackles and four interceptions while forcing a league-leading eight fumbles in 16 starts. If he is unable to go, expect Bobby Okereke and Zaire Franklin to continue as the team’s linebacker tandem against the Jaguars.
