Salvon Ahmed Injury: Officially placed on IL

The Colts placed Ahmed (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.

As expected, Ahmed will miss the entire 2025 season after suffering an ankle injury during this past Sunday's training camp practice, when he was on the receiving end of an illegal hip-drop tackle. Ahmed was competing for a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster after spending the 2024 season on Indianapolis' and Miami's practice squads, but he will now shift his focus towards being healthy for the 2026 campaign, unless he somehow returns quicker than expected and works out an injury settlement with the team. Khalil Herbert, Ulysses Bentley and newest addition Nate Noel will have increased opportunities to compete with Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens for backup running back duties due to Ahmed's injury.
