Blackmon recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 23-20 loss at Houston. Sunday's game was Blackmon's second straight collecting at least eight tackles, bringing his total on the season up to 49. That's good enough for IDP consideration in some formats heading into a Week 9 tilt at Minnesota.
Blackmon recorded nine total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Dolphins. Blackmon finished with his highest tackle total since Week 1, finishing third on the team in stops behind Grant Stuard and Zaire Franklin. The safety has now compiled 41 total tackles (29 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding an interception, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed over six games in 2024.
Blackmon had six total tackles and an interception in Sunday's win at Tennessee. Blackmon played on all 58 of the defense's snaps. He's a steady source of tackles as a starting safety opposite Nick Cross.
Blackmon (shoulder) was a full participant during practice Wednesday. It was previously reported by James Boyd of The Athletic that the Utah product was on the field Wednesday, but his level of participation wasn't reported. His ability to get in a full practice suggests the safety should be good to go Sunday against the Bears.
Blackmon (shoulder) is practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Blackmon was unable to practice last week before missing their Week 2 loss to the Packers. His return to the field Wednesday should be good news for the Utah product and put him on a trajectory to take the field this Sunday against the Bears. However, it's not yet clear if Blackmon was limited or a full participant for the session, which will keep him iffy for Week 3 for now.
Blackmon (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Blackmon was held out of both Wednesday and Thursday's practices due to a shoulder injury, so it's no surprise that the 26-year-old won't suit up in Week 2. Fortunately for the Colts, head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that he doesn't believe Blackmon's injury is a long-term issue, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Expect Trevor Denbow and Rodney Thomas to see increased work with Indianapolis' first-team defense in Blackmon's stead.
Blackmon (shoulder) did not practice Thursday. Blackmon has now missed back-to-back practices, so he may need to participate in at least a limited capacity Friday for any chance of being available for Sunday's road matchup against the Packers. Trevor Denbow and Rodney Thomas will be candidates to handle increased defensive snaps if Blackmon misses any time.
Blackmon (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. Indianapolis' top strong safety logged 13 total tackles during the team's Week 1 loss, but it appears he may have sustained a shoulder injury in that effort. Blackmon's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether the 26-year-old will be able to suit up for the Colts in Week 2.
Blackmon recorded 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans. Blackmon led the defense with 10 solo stops, although he was second to Nick Cross in total tackles. Despite the loss, it was a productive day from a fantasy perspective for the Utah product, who will work to maintain that productivity in a win Week 2 against the Packers.
