The Indianapolis Colts could not have had worst news than what they received on Thursday.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday night’s joint training camp practice with the Chicago Bears. Dulin was active much of the practice both on offense and during special teams work, but was carted off the field with the injury.
Because of that injury, he will miss the entire 2023 season, and the depth chart in the wide receiver room takes a hit. Additionally, the Colts will lose one of their top special teams aces.
Losing Ashton Dulin is a huge blow as they head into a season with a rookie quarterback who has already gotten the nod to start.
The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $9 million contract in March. He was named second-team All-Pro in 2021 after finishing second in the NFL with 17 special teams tackles and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
The 2019 undrafted free agent has appeared in 55 games and has racked up 33 receptions for 450 yards and three TDs. Dulin had his best season on offense last year with 15 receptions, 207 yards, and one TD.

In his four-year career, Dulin has been on the field for 759 offensive snaps and 863 special teams snaps.
A playmaker in two different spots will be hard to replace.
