Colts' Julian Blackmon: Gets double-digit tackles again
Blackmon recorded 12 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 22-19 overtime win at the Ravens.
Blackmon was second on his squad in tackles in Week 3, and he looks primed for a career year as a starting safety, provided he can stay healthy. That said, Indianapolis will probably see significantly fewer looks against the run when they host the Rams in Week 4.

Colts' Julian Blackmon: Five tackles in season opener
Blackmon started at strong safety and had five tackles in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
Blackmon had an off day in coverage by allowing three receptions on four targets for 42 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. However, he enters the regular season healthy after missing time in training camp to a hamstring injury. Blackmon played all 70 snaps on defense. A return to full strength is a good sign since he's struggled to stay on the field. The 2020 third-rounder was limited to six games in 2021 due to an Achilles injury, and last season he missed three games and parts of another due to an ankle injury.

Colts' Julian Blackmon: Continuing to recover
Blackmon continues to make progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Blackmon remains sidelined, but he's progressing well and doing a good job with his rehab, according to head coach Shane Steichen. The 24-year-old has been out of action since training camp started, but with Week 1 still over a month away, the Colts' projected starter at free safety still has several weeks to make a full recovery.

Blackmon (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday and remains without a return timetable, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Blackmon didn't join his teammates on the field for the first day of training camp. The starting safety has plenty of time to heal up before the Colts kick off the regular season Sept. 10 against the Jaguars. The team's preseason opener is Aug. 12 in Buffalo.

Colts' Julian Blackmon: Active, but doesn't play
Blackmon was active in Sunday's win over Jacksonville but did not play as he was on the sidelines only in case of an emergency, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Frank Reich said he wasn't ready to play but at the same time had him active. It would appear that Blackmon will be ready to return next week against Tennessee, but it may be best to see him in action again before using him for fantasy purposes.

Colts' Julian Blackmon: Questionable for Sunday
Blackmon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
Blackmon has missed back-to-back games due to an ankle sprain, but he returned to practice ahead of Week 6, logging two limited sessions and one full participation (Thursday). If he remains out for a third straight game, expect Rodney Thomas to continue serving as the Colts' starting free safety.

Colts' Julian Blackmon: Upgrades to full participant
Blackmon (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
Blackmon missed the team's last two contests due to an ankle sprain, but his ability to log a full practice Thursday suggests he's ready to return for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. With the 24-year-old more than likely to reclaim his starting spot this weekend, Rodney Thomas is slated to revert back to a depth role for the Colts' secondary.
