Indianapolis Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam will miss the season with a torn Achilles, NFL Network reported Monday.

The 29-year-old veteran sustained the injury during a training camp practice on Sunday, per the report.

Ebukam recorded a career-high 9.5 sacks and started all 17 games in his first season with the Colts in 2023. He signed a three-year, $24 million contract in March 2023 and carries a $7.935 million cap hit in 2024, per Spotrac.

He has tallied 33 sacks, 69 quarterback hits, 281 tackles and 11 forced fumbles in 113 games (78 starts) with the Los Angeles Rams (2017-20), San Francisco 49ers (2021-22) and Colts. The Rams drafted the Nigerian international in the fourth round in 2017.
