The Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts, who already have lost cornerbacks Jason David and Nick Harper and linebacker Cato June to free agency, might have taken another hit.NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Colts defensive tackle Anthony McFarland has sustained a season-ending knee injury.
According to the article on nfl.com, McFarland suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The Indianapolis Star is reporting McFarland's injury is believed to be to his patella tendon. Either injury likely would end McFarland's season.
The Colts have said McFarland is still undergoing an evaluation and his status has not yet been determined.
McFarland's injury comes one day after the Colts terminated the contract of defensive tackle Corey Simon.
The Colts acquired McFarland last October in a trade with Tampa Bay. They sent the Buccaneers a second-round draft pick.
