Julian Blackmon News
Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon is being moved to strong safety this year, where his instincts and tackling ability might be seen on a more regular basis. The permanent move of Blackmon to strong safety also allows the Colts to keep last year's seventh-rounder, Rodney Thomas II, on the field at free safety after his surprising rookie season. Blackmon was around the ball during organized team activities, a sign that he still has the playmaking ability the Colts drafted him for in the third round in 2020. Indy's defense changed from a split safety to single-high safety concept last year, which made Blackmon less impactful at his former position. The 24-year-old still had a career-high 50 tackles (36 solo), one sack, an interception returned for a TD and a fumble recovery in 14 games (11 starts) in 2022.
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.
