According to ESPN, this is the second serious injury Blackmon has faced in three years. In 2019, while at Utah, he tore an ACL during the PAC-12 Championship game. He recovered and played 15 games during his rookie season last year.
Blackmon becomes the 20th player the Colts have placed in injured reserve since the start of training camp.
