Indianapolis Colts safety Julian Blackmon saw his season cut short in 2021 when he suffered a torn Achilles during practice. Now, he’s working his way back from surgery and appears ahead of schedule.
In speaking with reporters Wednesday during OTAs, head coach Frank Reich told the media that Blackmon is looking good and while he didn’t want to put a timetable on the return, he did mention that the third-year safety is ahead of schedule.
“Yeah, it’s going well. He looks really good. When we’re out there working out, I see him over there and they’re working him out physically and he looks strong, he looks good,” Reich said. “Not ready to put a date on when he’ll be back but I’m optimistic that he’s doing well, ahead of schedule and will be ready to go before too long.”
