Colts Due RB Evan Hull will remainder of the season through meniscus tear

Publish date: 2024-04-04

The Indianapolis Colts will experience a significant player absence, as rookie running back Evan Hull will reportedly be sidelined for the remainder of the 2023 season due to a meniscus injury.

Selected in the fifth round of the recent NFL Draft, Hull was poised to contribute as a receiver, but his debut season was abruptly cut short in Week 1, when he sustained the injury in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In that game, he only managed to gain one yard rushing and caught a six-yard pass.

According to reporter Jordan Schultz, Hull has been placed on the injured reserve list, and initially, it's anticipated that he would be out for an indefinite period.

Jonathan Taylor still sidelined

Adding to the challenges, the Colts are dealing with a tough start to the season due to a shortage of running backs, as Jonathan Taylor remains on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to an ankle injury. However, the team did welcome back Zack Moss, who had been recovering from a forearm injury.

Hull will aim to make a complete recovery and return to action in 2024, especially since Taylor, Zack Moss, and Deon Jackson are all set to become free agents after this season.

The Indianapolis Colts' next game is scheduled for this Sunday, when they will be facing off against the Baltimore Ravens.
