No Timetable For Shaquille Leonard's Return
2 years agoIndianapolis Colts All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back), who previously went by Darius Leonard, watched training camp practice on Monday in street clothes as he recovers from June back surgery. There is no set timetable for his return, but the Colts expect him back at "some point" this year, according to a source. The Colts won't rush Leonard back onto the field, so it appears increasingly likely that he won't be ready to go in time for Week 1. The 27-year-old is typically one of the first linebackers off the board in IDP fantasy leagues, but that won't be the case this year. The three-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro had 122 tackles (75 solo), four tackles for loss, three QB hits, four interceptions, eight passes defensed, a league-high eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 16 games in 2021. His absence to start the year will be a big loss for the Colts defense/special teams.
