Colts rookie S Daniel Scott Tears ACL

this sucks. i was a huge fan of scott and he was going to probably be a frequent special teams player to start and with his insane athleticism he’d eventually find the field on defense as a rookie. he will bounce back because his athleticism is so high and he is so young but this definitely is a set back for him and a lost rookie gem potentially for the colts who had a great draft imo.

How will this impact the team this season?

He was only going to be playing on special teams, so not affecting the defense much if at all 

Julian Blackmon already said he was going to be moving to SS with Rodney Thomas taking over at FS and Nick Cross backing up.

Last year when we had Rodney McCleod we used Blackmon as the slot/third safety role when Kenny Moore was injured but with him back that allows Blackmon to play more traditional safety.

#3 It frees up a spot on the roster so they don't need an extra player to 'go down' in the last preseason game. Sounds like it only hurts ST this year and the guy is probably feeling confident that he was looking good. Really depends how he recovers well and uses the time to learn the mental aspects so things are slowed down next season. I'm sure it would be better to play for that but trying to find a bright side.
