Impact Ebukam turns 31 years old in May and missed the entire 2024 season due to a torn Achilles.

Has down season Ebukam recorded 33 tackles (22 solo) including 2.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in 14 games with Indianapolis in 2025.

Impact After missing the entire 2024 season with a torn Achilles, Ebukam posted mostly disappointing numbers in 2025, including his lowest season sack total since his rookie year back in 2017. He'll turn 31 in May, but it's still possible that being another year removed from the Achilles injury could help his production rebound in 2026. He's in line to become a free agent during the offseason.

Limited Wednesday Ebukam (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Ebukam has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering MCL sprain in his knee, but he appears to have taken a step forward in his recovery following Indianapolis' bye. If he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, Ebukam could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's road game against the Chiefs.

Misses another practice Ebukam (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Ebukam is recovering from an MCL injury that he sustained during the Colts' Week 7 win over the Chargers, which prevented him from playing against the Titans this past Sunday. He is expected to miss multiple weeks while rehabbing from the injury, so he is unlikely to be cleared to return for Week 9 against the Steelers.
