Avery was having a solid camp before this injury and figured to be in competition for one of the final roster spots on the defensive side of the ball.
He’s also the second Colts player in as many days to suffer a knee injury that will end his season. Wide receiver Ashton Dulin tore his ACL during joint practices Wednesday night as well.
