The Indianapolis Colts are monitoring the health of rookie safety AJ Haulcy ahead of their Week 1 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Head coach Shane Steichen declined to confirm whether the player will be available for the matchup, stating the team will evaluate his progress throughout the week. Haulcy has been sidelined for the past two weeks due to an ankle injury. The third-round draft pick competed for the strong safety position during training camp and was considered the front-runner for the role before the injury occurred. If Haulcy is unable to play on Sunday, Hunter Wohler is expected to take his place in the secondary. The team will provide further clarity on his availability when the first official injury report is released this Wednesday.
