Colts offensive lineman Freeland carted off with leg injury

INDIANAPOLIS — Colts offensive lineman Blake Freeland was carted off the field with a lower right leg injury during Saturday’s preseason game against Green Bay.

Freeland was injured early in the second quarter on a running play on third-and-1. As the play ended, his right leg got pinned underneath the pile before Freeland fell to the ground.

Trainers immediately put the leg in a boot. When Freeland was lifted onto the cart, teammates gathered around to encourage him. He was ruled out of the game a few minutes later.

Freeland, a third-year veteran out of Brigham Young, was expected to back up Braden Smith at right tackle.
