Report: Colts S Hooker (knee) to miss 4-6 weeks

Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks with a knee injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday. Hooker sustained a torn meniscus in his knee during the Colts' 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Fourth-round rookie Khari Willis is expected to receive an increased workload in place of Hooker, who has recorded 10 tackles and one interception in three games this season. Hooker is no stranger to injuries, as he battled ailments to his groin, shoulder and hamstring in his rookie season in 2017 before landing on injured reserve after tearing his ACL and MCL.

The 23-year-old has collected 74 tackles and six interceptions in 24 career games since being selected by Indianapolis with the 15th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
