Julian Blackmon - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

No injury designation Blackmon was clear of injury designations when the Colts announced transactions ahead of training camp Sunday, Andrew Moore of FanNation reports.

Impact It was expected that Blackmon would be able to participate in training camp at some point after he suffered a torn Achilles back in October 2021, so the news comes as no big surprise. He figures for a rotational role in Indianapolis' defensive backfield this season, but he could enjoy a more extensive opportunity depending on recent acquisition Rodney McLeod's (undisclosed) health and how quickly 2022 third-rounder Nick Cross acclimates to the NFL.
