Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. leaves practice with apparent injury
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (11) falls over Jacksonville Jaguars safety Darnell Savage (6) on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025, during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. left practice early on Thursday with an apparent injury, according to multiple reports.
Pittman went to the ground during an 11-on-11 play but it was not clear if it was from contact. He stayed down for a few seconds and then limped off on his own. He later went with a member of the team's medical staff into the locker room and didn't return to practice.
The 27-year-old started 14 of the 16 games he played last season and caught 69 of 111 targets for 808 yards and three touchdowns. He revealed in April that he played through a fractured back that ultimately was determined would not require surgery. He told the Indianapolis Star that doctors fully cleared him in March.
For his career, Pittman has 405 catches for 4,470 yards and 18 TDs. His best season was in 2023, when he caught 109 passes for 1,152 yards and four TDs.
Indianapolis selected Pittman in the second round (34th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.
