The Indianapolis Colts have placed starting strong safety Julian Blackmon on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury sustained during Sunday's game in Atlanta. Blackmon, who is entering free agency in the spring, had four interceptions and was the team's 3rd leading tackler. The Colts have brought back safety Henry Black from the Steelers practice squad to fill Blackmon's spot. This injury is a significant blow for the Colts as Blackmon had been playing well in a contract year, showcasing his playmaking abilities and leadership in the secondary.

Losing Julian Blackmon is a huge blow for the Colts. Blackmon's in a contract year this year, and he'd risen to the occasion, both from a playmaking standpoint and a leadership role in the secondary. "He does just about everything." https://t.co/KkeusxRSu5

Julian Blackmon is in a contract year, and he just played his best ball at strong safety. It’ll be interesting to see what the Colts do since Kenny Moore II is also a free agent. Now they’ll get a two-game audition out of Nick Cross, who has two years left on a rookie deal.
