Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II suffered a groin injury during the team’s first padded practice on Monday and is expected to miss at least a week.
The Colts don’t want to push Moore to return for training camp before he’s ready and thus leading to a setback that would compromise his ability to start the regular season
While there isn’t an official timetable, head coach Frank Reich told reporters Tuesday that Moore will be held out of practice for at least a week.
“Kenny (Moore II) strained his groin and he’ll probably be out at least a week,” Reich said.
Soft tissue injuries can be dangerous if not treated correctly at this time of year. So far the injury with T.Y. Hilton hasn’t been an issue so the Colts will want to take the same precautions with Moore.
We saw just how badly the defense can crumble without the versatile slot cornerback. Down the home stretch of the 2019 season, Moore was dealing with an ankle injury, and the defense suffered greatly.
The Colts are likely to re-evaluate Moore’s status in a week, but this will certainly be a situation to monitor.
