The Indianapolis Colts are dealing with an injury to another major player.
Coach Chuck Pagano told reporters on Tuesday that corner Vontae Davis is dealing with a "significant" groin injury, per the Indy Star's Zak Keefer. The two-time Pro Bowler is expected to miss multiple weeks. Davis won't undergo surgery at this time.
Missing the physical corner for any amount of games is a massive blow to a Colts defense that couldn't afford to lose its best veteran cover man. New GM Chris Ballard spent the offseason upgrading a thin defense, including adding first-round safety Malik Hooker. Indy remains woefully thin at corner, especially with second-round pick Quincy Wilson dealing with a knee issue.
The Colts will pray his groin injury heals fast. With questions about Andrew Luck's Week 1 status, Indy is staring at the very real possibility of playing multiple weeks to open the 2017 season without its top player on each side of the ball.
