Colts Reserve Running Back Suffers Severe Ankle Injury During Practice Sunday

MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, AUG 3 – The hip-drop tackle that caused Ahmed's injury was banned by the NFL in 2024, with about 30 players fined or warned last season, NFL officials said.

  • On Aug 3, 2025, backup running back Salvon Ahmed was carted off the field in Westfield, Indiana, with a severe right leg injury.
  • A hip-drop tackle by Trey Washington near the goal line caused injury, despite NFL banning such tackles in March 2024 and roughly 30 players fined or warned last season.
  • Teammates gathered around as Salvon Ahmed was placed on a stretcher after team doctors immobilized his leg with an air cast.
  • Amid preparations for a joint practice, the injury cast a pall over the Colts as they head to Baltimore on Tuesday, with tight end Will Mallory saying it’s tough seeing `our brother` go down.
  • Moving forward, Steichen emphasized discouraging hip-drop tackles and said training camp builds the team's edge and identity.
