Colts RB suffers ‘severe leg injury’ due to illegal tackle
During an Indianapolis Colts practice, running back Salvon Ahmed suffered a severe leg injury after an illegal tackle by safety Trey Washington. Ahmed was tackled from behind during an 11-on-11 period, causing him to scream in agony and grab his lower right leg. The coaches do not encourage hip-drop tackles like the one Washington attempted, which is now illegal in the NFL to prevent injuries. This incident underscores the challenge for defenders to make tackles effectively. Washington, a rookie free agent from Ole Miss, was not intentionally trying to injure Ahmed but was aiming to make a competitive football move. Ahmed was fighting for a spot on the practice squad before the injury.
