Posts 88 tackles in comeback
Leonard bounced back from an injury-filled 2022 season to record 88 tackles in 14 regular-season games split between the Colts and Eagles.
Analysis: Back issues limited Leonard to three games in 2022, but while he proved his health early in the year with the Colts, he was nonetheless cut in late November. He landed with the Eagles, where he played the last five games of the season. While the fact that he remained on the field was certainly encouraging, he was nowhere near the playmaker he was back in 2021, when he forced eight fumbles and recovered two more. Leonard didn't force nor recover a fumble this season, nor did he intercept a pass,…read more

Notches first sack of season
Leonard recorded seven tackles (five solo), including one sack, in Monday's 33-25 win against the Giants.
Analysis: Leonard logged his highest snap count (51) since joining the Eagles on Dec. 4, and he registered his first sack of the campaign when he brought down Tommy DeVito in the second quarter. Leonard appears to be settling in with Philadelphia, playing on 86 percent of the team's defensive snaps Monday after logging just 18 and 47 percent, respectively, in his first two contests with the club. The veteran linebacker could thus re-emerge as an IDP asset over the final two weeks of the regular season --…read more

Chooses Philly as next destination
Leonard signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Monday.
Analysis: After being formally waived by the Colts on Nov. 21, Leonard met with both the Cowboys and Eagles last week and weighed offers from both NFC teams. The 28-year-old ultimately decided to commit to Philadelphia, where he should settle into an every-down role at linebacker. Though Leonard -- a three-time first-team All-Pro selection -- may no longer be at peak form after undergoing a pair of back surgeries since June 2022, he still possesses the ranginess to thrive in pass coverage and plug up…read more

Set to visit Dallas on Tuesday
Leonard has a visit scheduled with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The three-time Pro Bowler was waived by the Colts on Nov. 21. Leonard has a visit scheduled for one week after that date with a Dallas team that could be looking to bolster a linebacker group that has been thinned by season-ending injuries to Leighton Vander Esch (neck) and DeMarvion Overshown (knee).

Cut by Indianapolis
The Colts waived Leonard on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Leonard's playing time has wavered from week to week all season, but he has tallied at least seven tackles in five straight games and currently sits at 65 stops through nine outings. While he suffered through an injury-plagued 2022, when he made just three appearances, he opened his career with 120-plus tackles in four consecutive campaigns. Expect a number of teams to put in claims for Leonard, though one sticking point may be the $6.1 million that he's owed for the rest of the year on his…read more

Double-digit tackles for first time
Leonard had 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 38-27 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: It was the first time Leonard reached double-digit tackles since Oct. 11, 2021. He's up to 46 tackles in seven games, but he's yet to record a sack and hasn't done so since the 2020 season. Leonard will look to change that in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Increased playing time
Leonard had seven total tackles, including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Leonard had a strong performance after missing a game with a groin injury. He also played on 51 of the defense's 62 snaps, a noticeable increase after he saw fewer snaps in Week 3 and Week 4 as the Colts eased him back after injury. Leonard appeared in only three games in 2022 due to a pair of surgeries on his neck and back. He also missed time in the preseason due to a concussion. It looks like Leonard may be back to full strength.

Looks good for Week 6
Leonard (groin) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard was sidelined for Sunday's game versus Tennessee with a groin injury, but he appears to be back to full speed after opening Week 6 prep with a full practice. The three-time Pro Bowler compiled 21 tackles through the Colts' first four games of the season.

Won't play vs. Tennessee
Leonard (groin) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Leonard played on a pitch count in Week 4, and he'll now miss Indianapolis' game in Week 5 entirely as he works his way back from a groin injury. Segun Olubi may pick up a few snaps thanks to Leonard's absence.

Still not practicing
Leonard (groin) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Leonard missed practice for a second consecutive day after playing on a snap limit Sunday versus the Rams. It's not clear at this point whether he's just resting or has suffered some kind of setback, so it will be worth keeping an eye out for Indianapolis' final injury report of the week Friday.

Reduced snap count Week 4
Leonard recorded three total tackles in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Rams. He played on just 37 of the defense's 82 snaps as the Colts limited his workload while he works his way back from injury. "Once he's fully, 100 percent healthy, he'll start taking more snaps on third-down opportunities, he'll be relieved of his snap count and we'll go ahead and get back to our regular schedule," linebacker E.J. Speed told Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star, regarding Leonard's playing time.
Analysis: Leonard appeared in only three games in 2022 due to a pair of surgeries on his neck and back. He also missed time in the preseason due to a concussion. Leonard's snap count has declined in each of the four games. His performance may be an issue, though head coach Shane Steichen said he's not currently dealing with an injury.

Solid showing in Week 3
Leonard recorded seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win at Baltimore.
Analysis: Leonard actually saw fewer snaps Sunday than he did in Week 2 at Houston, but he improved his tackle total from that game to keep pace for his fifth career 100-tackle season. Teammate Zaire Franklin is emerging as one of the NFL's elite run-stoppers, but there should be enough tackles left over for Leonard to retain IDP value.

Eight tackles in season opener
Leonard had eight total tackles, including one for a loss, in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
Analysis: Leonard returned after playing just three games last season due to a back injury and after missing time with a concussion during the preseason. He played on 60 of the defense's 70 snaps, so he wasn't limited in his return. He looked fully healthy and back to his 2021 form as a top tackler from the linebacker spot.

Ready to face Jaguars
Leonard cleared concussion protocol Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard has fully cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and can be considered on track to suit up for his usual starting role during Sunday's regular-season opener against Jacksonville. He only appeared in three games in 2022 due to a pair of surgeries on his neck and back and is now looking to bounce back to his prior Pro Bowl form in 2023.

Remains in protocol
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Leonard is still in the concussion protocol, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Leonard has been in the five-step protocol since Aug. 19, leaving his status for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars in doubt. If Leonard is unable to gain clearance to play before Sunday, Grant Stuard would be the next man up on the depth chart to start at the weak-side linebacker spot.

Still in concussion protocol
Leonard remains in concussion protocol Monday but is progressing well according to head coach Shane Steichen, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Analysis: Time is running thin for Leonard to make his way back onto the field ahead of Indianapolis' date versus Jacksonville on Sunday. If the veteran linebacker ultimately sits out Week 1, 2021 fifth-rounder Cameron McGrone is likely to see an uptick in snaps.

Practicing in limited capacity
Leonard (concussion) practiced in a red noncontact jersey Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard has been in the concussion protocol since mid-August, but it was encouraging to see him back on the practice field Wednesday, even though he was in a noncontact jersey. He has a week and a half to return to full strength ahead of the Colts' regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sept. 10.

Enters concussion protocol
Leonard was injured in practice this week and is in the concussion protocol, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard was expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears but is "dinged up," according to coach Shane Steichen. The three-time first-team All-Pro appeared in just three games last season and is looking to bounce back in 2023. Leonard should be considered week-to-week.

Set to play
Leonard (back) is expected to play in Saturday's opening preseason contest, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Pro Bowl linebacker has been brought along slowly throughout training camp to date, but it appears as if Leonard is finally past the back injury that eventually required surgery last season. Leonard and emerging linebacker Zaire Franklin quietly represent one of the better interior linebacker tandems in the NFL currently.

Still making progress
Leonard (back) is continuing to ramp up his activity during training camp, although he still isn't participating in 11-on-11 team drills, James Boyd of the Atheltic reports.
Analysis: Leonard continues to be brought along slowly after recovering from back surgery last year. Although he's cleared to compete, the Colts are taking a gradual route in adding to his workload during camp. He's moved beyond just individual workouts and is competing in seven-on-seven drills, but he's still being limited beyond that.

Practices on first day of camp
Leonard (back) participated in individual, 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills Wednesday as the Colts began training camp, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Leonard was limited to individual drills during OTAs, but he has been cleared for team practices, though his recovery from back surgery is still ongoing. The linebacker believes he previously rushed his return, which caused further complications, so Leonard's reps will likely remain capped throughout training camp and preseason with an eye on being available for the regular season come September.

Passes physical, not yet practicing
Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday that Leonard (back) passed his physical, but the linebacker remains without a timeline to gain clearance for full practices, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard missed all of the 2021 campaign and only appeared in three games in 2022 before undergoing season-ending surgery on his back in November and then having a follow-up surgery in April. Indianapolis plans to be careful with the superstar linebacker and ease him back into practice slowly. The South Carolina State product collected All-Pro honors in each of his first four seasons in the NFL, but Leonard will need to prove he's fully recovered before he should be considered a cornerstone of…read more

Remains unavailable for practice
Leonard (back) has yet to return to practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard is still recovering from his second back surgery, which he underwent in November. The linebacker appeared in just three games in 2022, recording 11 tackles, one pass deflection and an interception while he dealt with a concussion, a broken nose and a back injury. The Colts will likely continue to be cautious in their approach with Leonard ahead of the 2023 campaign in hopes to have their defensive leader available for Week 1 versus the Jaguars.

Leonard continues to progress in his recovery from his second back surgery in November, Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Leonard is "progressing well," according to head coach Shane Steichen, but he's still hesitant to put a timetable on the linebacker's return. The 27-year-old missed all but three games last season and was officially shut down in November when he underwent a second back procedure. At the end of last season, in reference to the games he did suit up for he said, "I shouldn't have been out there, shouldn't have been playing, should have just rested."

Feeling good after second surgery
Leonard said that he's feeling like his normal self again following the second back surgery that he received in November, per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis.
Analysis: Leonard missed 14 games in 2022 due to a combination of his nagging back issue, a concussion and a fractured nose, but it now sounds like the four-time All-Pro is finally back to normal. The 27-year-old originally underwent a procedure last offseason to repair two discs in his back, and it ultimately didn't address the primary cause for concern. Leonard then opted to receive a second surgery in November, which appears to have done the trick, so as of now, it seems like the 230-pound linebacker…read more

Leonard (neck) underwent back surgery Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The standout linebacker previously had surgery in June to repair two discs in his back, but the procedure didn't yield the results that Leonard and the Colts had counted on. He missed the Colts' first three games while recovering from his initial surgery, then suffered a concussion and fractured nose in his return to the field in Week 4.

Meeting specialist Monday
Leonard (neck/back) is scheduled to meet with a specialist Monday to determine whether he can play again in the 2022 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Colts placed Leonard on injured reserve with a back injury Saturday, but he will consult neck surgeon Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday to determine whether to be shut down for the 2022 season and focus on a 2023 return. Interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Wednesday that Leonard could not complete practice that day due to a new development in nerve-related issues stemming from his June surgery. The three-time All-Pro has just three appearances under his belt this year.

IR-bound with back injury
Indianapolis placed Leonard (back) on its injured reserve list Saturday.
Analysis: Leonard sat out six of the Colts' first seven games, but he apparently never got back to 100 percent before he returned for Weeks 8 and 9, as he'll now be forced to spend the next four games on the sideline. As long as the three-time All-Pro remains out, Zaire Franklin and Bobby Okereke should continue to do the majority of the heavy lifting at linebacker for Indianapolis.

Sidelined Week 10 after setback
Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday said that Leonard (back/ankle) suffered a setback during practice Wednesday and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard underwent ankle surgery this offseason and dealt with numerous injuries -- including a back issue -- that kept him out for all but one game over the first seven weeks of the season. The star middle linebacker was able to return Week 8 against Washington and subsequently played 58 defensive snaps over Indianapolis' past two games. However, with either the back or ankle issue having flared back up, Leonard is set to receive an MRI and will be sidelined for at least one more contest.…read more

Analysis: Leonard came off the bench and played on 24 of the defense's 61 snaps. He was on a playing time limit as he works his way back from multiple injuries. Leonard started his season recovering from July back surgery, which kept him on the PUP list during training camp.

Analysis: Leonard will return to the field for the first time since Week 4, but head coach Frank Reich said Friday that he will be "on a pitch count" in the contest. Regardless of the amount of snaps he plays, the 27-year-old is a welcomed addition to a defensive unit that has been very inconsistent this year. Leonard produced 122 tackles, eight pass deflections, four interceptions, eight forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 16 games last season.

Practicing on limited basis
Leonard (concussion/nose/back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Analysis: According to Coach Frank Reich, it's primarily Leonard's recovery from the surgery he underwent to repair a broken nose he suffered in Week 4 that's keeping him from returning in earnest at this point, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. The three-time All-Pro's participation in practice Wednesday, though limited, is a positive indication, but if he can't play in Week 7, Bobby Okereke and E.J. Speed will be asked to continue to hold down the fort at linebacker next to Zaire Franklin.

Lacks return timeline
Head coach Frank Reich said that Leonard (concussion/nose/back), who has been ruled out for the Colts' Week 6 game against the Jaguars, is without a timeline for returning to the lineup, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "I think he's making progress on his concussion. It's all related because of the [nasal] surgery. We really haven't had to press the [concussion]."
Analysis: Leonard's recovery from the concussion and a recent surgery to address a fractured nose appear to be the greater concerns for the linebacker at this point than his back, which kept him from playing in the Colts' first three games following offseason surgery. He sustained the concussion and broken nose in his season debut Week 4 and will now miss his second straight game as a result.

Misses practice Wednesday
Leonard (concussion/nose) didn't participate in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard missed Indianapolis' overtime victory in Denver last Thursday, and despite the longer turnaround for Week 6, the star linebacker doesn't look as though he's made much meaningful progress in his recovery from the concussion. He's also dealing with a fractured nose, and the two injuries could put him in danger of missing a second straight game Sunday against the Jaguars. The Colts will likely wait until after Friday's practice before determining Leonard's status for Sunday's contest.

Due to the quick turnaround for the Week 5 matchup, the Colts officially ruled Leonard out for the game Monday, but the broken nose looks like it could threaten the star linebacker's availability beyond this week even if he clears the five-step concussion protocol.

Eyeing season debut
Leonard (back) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Leonard appears to be closing in on his season debut, and he's coming off his first full week of unrestricted practice. The star linebacker's absence has been notable for Indianapolis' defense, so if he's back on the field in even a limited capacity it will bode well. Official word on Leonard's status will be made available prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. E.T. kickoff.

Deemed questionable for Sunday
Colts head coach Frank Reich said Friday that Leonard (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Leonard has been slowly working his way back to game action, logging full Wednesday practices in each of the first three weeks before eventually being ruled out. However, he appears to be getting close to making his 2022 debut, with Reich saying the linebacker had "three pretty good days" of practice this week. Leonard was a full participant in each session ahead of Week 4, the first time he's done that this season, but he still hasn't been cleared for Sunday's game.

Sitting out again Sunday
Coach Frank Reich ruled out Leonard (back) for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Leonard continues to work his way back from June back surgery, but his season debut will be delayed to Week 4 against the Titans, at the earliest. Reich told George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin on Friday that Leonard had a "really good week" of prep and has made "incremental" progress in his recovery, but he's not quite ready for game action. Zaire Franklin and, to a lesser extent, E.J. Speed will continue to be beneficiaries of Leonard's absence.

Still uncertain for Sunday
Leonard (back) won't know if he'll play in Week 3 until after practice Thursday or Friday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Leonard underwent back surgery in June and still hasn't fully recovered from the procedure. The Pro Bowl linebacker has shifted between a full and limited participant in practice over the past couple of weeks, but he still hasn't played this season. If he can suit up Week 3 against the Chiefs, it'd be a major boon for the Colts defense. However, if he were to miss another week, Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed will continue to see increased snaps on defense.

Analysis: Though Leonard is a full participant for a third straight Wednesday practice, he's still waiting to make his season debut.

Analysis: After logging a full practice session Wednesday, Leonard returned to the field Thursday in limited capacity. The All-Pro linebacker's Week 1 status has been up in the air throughout the summer, as he underwent back surgery in June and has since spent most of his time recovering.

Chance to play Week 1
The Colts will see how Leonard (back) progresses during practice this week before making a decision about his status for Sunday's season opener against the Texans, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard plans to practice Wednesday through Friday and will likely come down to a game-time decision Sunday. There's a chance he could play, but the team is being cautious with the 2018 second-round pick, who's missed at least one game due to injury in each of his first four NFL seasons. Leonard has still managed to record at least 120 tackles in each of those campaigns, but he's never matched his impressive rookie year (163 tackles and seven sacks).

Status for Week 1 TBD
Colts head coach Frank Reich said Sunday that the team has yet to make a decision on whether Leonard (back) will be placed on the reserve/PUP list or start the season on the 53-man roster, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: If the Colts place Leonard on the reserve/PUP list, he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. However, if he stays on the active roster and is ruled out for Week 1, he could take up a valuable depth spot on the roster. The 2018 second-round pick underwent multiple procedures this offseason, so Indianapolis is expected to work back its starting middle linebacker slowly even when he's officially cleared for game action.

Does it all in 2021
Leonard totaled 122 tackles (75 solo), eight pass deflections, four interceptions, eight forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 appearances during the 2021 campaign.
Analysis: Leonard missed one game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he was an absolute stud for the other 16 games. His consistent tackling numbers give him a high floor, but the rate at which he's able to create turnovers transforms him into one of the best options in IDP formats. He signed a five-year extension with the Colts in August 2021, so the 2018 second-round pick is expected to be a dominant force for Indianapolis' defense -- and fantasy managers -- for years to come.

Leonard totaled 10 tackles (eight solo), one tackle for loss, one interception, one pass defensed and one quarterback hit in Saturday's 27-17 win over New England.
Analysis: Leonard notched his third double-digit tackling performance of the season while adding his third interception of the campaign. The star linebacker picked off rookie quarterback Mac Jones inside the Colts' 10-yard line late in the first half.

Underwhelming production Sunday
Leonard had five total tackles in Sunday's loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Leonard didn't have a game last season with fewer than six tackles when he played a full game, so his stat line was a little underwhelming despite playing on all 54 of the defense's snaps. He also allowed all three passes targeted at him to be completed, according to Pro Football Focus. He's healthy and still the cornerstone of the defense, so he should improve.

Participating in practice
Leonard (ankle) is on the field for Tuesday's practice, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Leonard underwent an ankle procedure late July. but he's now ready to handle practice reps for the first time this training camp. Barring any setbacks, the 26-year-old should have plenty of time to get back to full form before Week 1. Leonard and the Colts agreed on a five-year, $98.5 million contract extension Sunday, making him the highest paid linebacker in the league.

Becomes highest-paid inside 'backer
Leonard (ankle) and the Colts agreed Sunday on a five-year, $98.5 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Now that Leonard and the 49ers' Fred Warner (five years, $95 million) both have agreed to massive extensions within the past three weeks, the market for inside linebackers has been reset. Leonard barely edges out Warner as the highest-paid player at the position, a just reward for a player who has earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in addition to two first-team All-Pro nods across his first three seasons in the league. Leonard underwent a procedure on his ankle shortly before…read more

Sidelined after ankle procedure
Leonard had a small procedure on his ankle and will miss time early in training camp, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The ankle injury is said to be minor according to GM Chris Ballard. Leonard is expected to miss only a few practices, but it's something to monitor early in training camp. He missed time last season with groin and back injuries, so the ankle issue is new.

Stacks up 10 stops
Leonard made 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: With a third straight double-digit tackling performance, Leonard now has produced at least 121 tackles in each of his first three seasons in the NFL. The South Carolina State product continues to be a top-tier IDP option, and he'll look to finish strong against the Jaguars in Week 17.

Full practice to start week
Leonard (back) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard left with a back injury late in last week's win over the Raiders, but coach Frank Reich said the injury was minor after the game, and the linebacker's full participation in practice to start the week confirms that notion. The engine of the Colts' defense should be good to go Sunday against the Texans.

Not dealing with serious injury
Coach Frank Reich said Monday that Leonard didn't suffer a serious back injury during Sunday's 44-27 win over the Raiders, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It appears Leonard will be ready to go for the Week 15 matchup against Houston, although he'll be closely monitored during the practice week. If he suffers a setback and is sidelined, Matthew Adams is likely the next man up at weak-side linebacker.

Leaves with back injury
Leonard (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Leonard exited Sunday's contest late in the fourth quarter with the Colts up 44-20, so it seems likely that he won't retake the field. He left with a team-high 11 tackles (eight solo).

Will play Sunday
Leonard (groin) will suit up against the Lions on Sunday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Leonard resumed practicing in full Thursday, so official confirmation that he'll make his return against the Lions doesn't come as much of a surprise. The third-year pro hasn't played since Week 4 against the Bears. As long as he's on the field, Leonard is a must-start fantasy option in most IDP formats.

Back to practicing in full
Leonard (groin) was a full participant during the Colts' practice session Thursday.
Analysis: The one-time All-Pro has been unable to suit up since sustaining a groin injury during Indianapolis' Week 4 win over the Bears, but it appears he is on a trajectory to make his much-anticipated return against Detroit in Week 8. Leonard made his initial foray into resuming practice last Thursday, but this marks the 25-year-old's first full session since sustaining the injury.

Limited participant Wednesday
Leonard (groin) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The 25-year-old missed the two games leading up to the Colts' bye in Week 7, but he's back on the field after some extra recovery time. Leonard may need to progress to full practice participation by the end of the week to avoid an injury designation, but he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Won't play Week 6
Leonard (groin) is inactive Week 6 against Cincinnati.
Analysis: Leonard didn't see the practice field all week and was given a "doubtful" tag heading into the contest, so it's no surprise to see him miss his second consecutive game, especially with a bye week on tap in Week 7. In Leonard's absence last week against the Browns, Zaire Franklin saw more snaps, but it was Bobby Okereke who benefitted statistically, racking up a season-high 10 combined tackles.

Likely out again Week 6
Leonard (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old was unable to play last week against the Browns and is expected to miss his second straight game due to the groin injury. Zaire Franklin saw increased defensive snaps in his absence and figures to do so again Sunday with Leonard unlikely to play.

Misses another practice session
Leonard (groin) did not participate during Indianapolis' practice session Thursday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Keefer expanded by stating that it's a "long shot" the star linebacker will be able to suit up during the Colts' Week 6 matchup against the Bengals. Leonard suffered the injury after playing just 28 defensive snaps during Indianapolis' Week 4 win against the Bears, but the Colts defense still held Chicago to a measly 28 rushing yards on 16 attempts. Week 5 was a different story, as the Browns racked up 124 team rushing yards with Leonard inactive.

Still not practicing
Leonard (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan reports.
Analysis: Leonard hurt his groin against the Bears in Week 4, and he's still not practicing after missing last week's loss to the Browns. The Colts will hope to have the star linebacker back for at least one of the next two practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, though the team could opt to play things safe with Leonard with a bye coming up in Week 7.

Not playing Week 5
Leonard (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: The 25-year-old sustained the groin injury during the Colts' Week 4 win over the Bears and will miss at least one game as a result. Leonard will represent a significant absence in the middle of the Indianapolis defense, especially since reserve linebackers Jordan Glasgow, Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed have combined for only a handful of defensive snaps this season.

Groin still bothersome
Leonard (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Leonard left in the second quarter of last week's game against the Bears, and the standout linebacker isn't feeling healthy enough to practice to start the week. He'll hope to raise his practice participation as the week goes on, but a potential Leonard absence Sunday would be a big blow to Indianapolis' defense against the run-heavy Browns attack.

Leonard (groin) is ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Bears, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Leonard was initially listed as questionable after leaving Sunday's game in the first half but was ultimately ruled out midway through the third quarter. The Colts will hope for the star linebacker to be able to return Week 5 at Cleveland. He had a solo tackle before leaving the field.

Leonard (back) is listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Leonard exited last weekend's contest against the Panthers to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was cleared in short order and ultimately finished the game with 11 tackles to his name. While it isn't clear where this back injury came from, Leonard's status for Sunday's season finale in Jacksonville won't be too much of a concern unless he also is unable to practice Thursday and Friday.

Scores first touchdown
Leonard had nine tackles (three solo), two interceptions and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Leonard's first pick came on the second play from scrimmage, and he grabbed another one and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown during the second quarter. The 2018 second-round pick hasn't been able to replicate the absurd tackle totals from his rookie campaign, but he's still been a quality IDP option with 92 tackles (57 solo), five sacks, four interceptions and two forced fumbles in 10 games.

Analysis: Leonard logged a dominant performance during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he appears to have also picked up an abdomen injury during the contest.
