The Colts placed DE Samson Ebukam on injured reserve today with a designation to return.

Fantasy Impact

This is an interesting development as it was originally reported that Ebukam was out for the season after tearing his Achilles early in training camp. It is possible he is able to make a late return in the season.

Colts DE Samson Ebukam suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday’s practice and will miss the 2024 season.

Fantasy Impact

A tough blow for Ebukam and the Colts’ defense. Unless the Colts look to bring in a free agent to bolster the roster, Laiatu Latu and Dayo Odeyingbo would likely see additional playing time moving forward.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Indianapolis Colts are landing pass rusher Samson Ebukam on a three-year deal worth up to $27 million.

Fantasy Impact

Ebukam has recorded at least 4.5 sacks in each of his last four seasons and 13-plus pressures every year of his career. The former Ram and 49er joins a talented defensive line group in Indianapolis featuring Kwity Paye, Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner where he can play more snaps than he did in San Francisco.

San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Samson Ebukam is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Ebukam has been dealing with quad and Achilles injuries that have now cost him two games. The 49ers will lean on Charles Omenihu, Drake Jackson, and Jordan Willis beside Nick Bosa with Ebukam sidelined. Omenihu offers low-end DL3 upside, with Jackson and Willis being options only in deeper 16+ team leagues.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the 49ers are signing OLB Samson Ebukam to a two-year deal worth $12 million that can be worth up to $13.5 million with incentives

Fantasy Impact

The Rams lose another body on defense as Ebukam heads to San Fransisco. The veteran LB recorded 31 tackles and 4.5 sacks along side Aaron Donald last season. The moves adds depth to a weak injury riddled LB core in San Fransisco.
