Colts could lose DE Henry Anderson for the entire season with a torn ACL
The Indianapolis Colts could suffer a huge loss, even though they pulled off one of the biggest wins of the season beating the Broncos this week. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Colts rookie DE Henry Anderson is believed to have a torn ACL based on initial tests.
Rapoport adds that Anderson will undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of the injury. Following Sunday’s win over the Broncos, Colts HC Chuck Pagano told reporters that Anderson suffered a “significant” knee injury, so this probably shouldn’t come as a huge surprise.
Anderson played at Stanford from 2010 to 2014. After redshirting his first year, he played in 13 games in 2011. He recorded six tackles and had a 37-yard fumble recovery. In 2012, Anderson started all 14 games and had 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks. In 2013, he played in eight games, missing six due to a knee injury. He finished the year with 19 tackles and three sacks. As a senior in 2014, he played in all 13 games and had 65 tackles and 8.5 sacks.
