Colts' Darius Leonard dealing with groin injury

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard is not practicing due to a groin injury.

What It Means:

Leonard didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but he claims he could still play Week 5 versus the Cleveland Browns. Anthony Walker (ankle) also didn't practice Thursday and was added to the injury report, so the Colts could be missing two starting linebackers against the league's top rushing attack on Sunday. Leonard was limited to 45.2 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 4 after having at least a 89.1 percent snap share in the first three games.

The Colts D/ST is 11th in numberFire's Week 5 fantasy rankings. numberFire's models expect Leonard to play and record 8.3 tackles. He has earned Pro Football Focus' second-best tackling grade among linebackers with at least 100 defensive snaps through four games.
