WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones was carted off with a hamstring injury during practice on Tuesday.
It was a non-contact injury.
Jones was competing for a starting cornerback spot, along with Indianapolis native JuJu Brents and rookie Justin Walley. Brents did not practice on Tuesday, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury.
Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo discussed how the injuries affect the competition for the starting role.
“Hopefully, guys will bounce back and be ready to jump back into it,” Anarumo said. “The more we see, the more we do, we have a better feel for things. Ultimately, a guy, if they were even, would never lose a job because of that (injury). But it’s just a part of the game, unfortunately.”
Other Colts dealing with injuries include wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (groin), cornerback David Long (groin), linebacker Cameron McGrone (quad), and running back Salvon Ahmed (back).
