BOBBY OKEREKE NEWS

Second-leading tackler Sunday Okereke recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 25-20 win over the Raiders.

Impact Okereke recorded just one fewer stop than leading tackler Zaire Franklin on Sunday. The 26-year-old Okereke also lined up on every defensive snap with star linebacker Shaquille Leonard (neck) out, and he'll likely continue to play an every-down role after Leonard underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday. He should have a chance to put up another big stat line this coming Sunday against the Eagles.

Totals eight stops Sunday Okereke recorded eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Despite playing a season-low 61 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps, Okereke still tied Zaire Franklin and Rodney McLeod for the team's second-most tackles behind Kenny Moore in Week 8. The 26-year-old Okereke played 400 defensive snaps over the first seven weeks of the season, though he could see decreased playing time after star linebacker Shaquille Leonard returned from a lingering back injury Sunday.

The 26-year-old linebacker also notched his second straight double-digit tackle performance, as he played every defensive snap for the third time in seven contests this season. Okereke has now compiled 65 tackles and three passes defended on 462 snaps in 2022.

Absent from injury report Okereke (hand) was not listed on the Colts' practice report Wednesday.

Impact Okereke exited with a hand injury during the first half of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, though he finished this contest with a team-high 13 tackles. The fourth-year linebacker was also unaffected by this issue Wednesday, and he should have a chance to post similarly high numbers if All-Pro Shaquille Leonard (concussion/nose/back) misses his sixth game of the season Sunday versus Tennessee.

Exits versus Jaguars Okereke is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Jacksonville with a hand injury, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
