Julian Blackmon Fantasy

The Indianapolis Colts didn't place an injury designation on safety Julian Blackmon (Achilles) to begin training camp, which is an excellent sign after coming off a torn Achilles last year. Blackmon played in only six games for the Colts last year due to his injury and finished with 34 tackles (27 solo) and a forced fumble, but he'll be ready to get going for the start of camp this summer. The 23-year-old is expected to open the season in a rotational role in the Colts secondary, but he could earn a bigger role eventually if he remains healthy, depending on how third-round rookie Nick Cross performs in his first season.

Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon (Achilles), who was limited to just six games last year due to a ruptured Achilles, isn't practicing in full yet with the team at organized team activities, but he expects to have few limitations when training camp starts in July. Blackmon isn't a rush to get back to full speed, and the Colts will likely monitor his repetitions at training camp. However, barring a setback this summer, all signs point to the 23-year-old being ready to go for Week 1 against the Houston Texans. Before is injury last year, Blackmon had 34 tackles (27 solo), two tackles for loss and a forced fumble, and he could be a difference-maker for the Colts secondary over a full season in his third NFL campaign.

The Indianapolis Colts placed safety Julian Blackmon (Achilles) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and activated offensive guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) from IR in a corresponding move. The team also elevated wide receiver Keke Coutee and safety Josh Jones to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. Blackmon tore his Achilles in practice on Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season. Nelson will be returning from a high ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3. The 25-year-old All-Pro will be a welcomed addition to the Colts offensive line against a tough 49ers defense this week.
