Colts Right Tackle Jalen Travis Could Miss Up to Four Weeks

Colts Right Tackle Jalen Travis Could Miss Up to Four Weeks

Colts starting right tackle Jalen Travis injured his knee in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys and is expected to miss at least two weeks, possibly up to four.

The 24-year-old is in his second NFL season and took over the starting job after Braden Smith left for the Houston Texans.

Travis has allowed seven sacks and 30 pressures in his first nine games, among the worst figures for starting tackles.

His absence gives other Colts linemen a chance to start while he recovers.

Luke Tenuta finished Sunday’s game at right tackle and could make the first start of his NFL career, while Charlie Heck is another option.

The Colts may be able to avoid placing Travis on injured reserve, but he will miss valuable playing time that could help him develop into a long-term starter.
