Colts Place Malik Hooker, Clayton Geathers & Jeremy Vujnovich On PUP List

The Indianapolis Colts placed on the active/PUP list to open training camp on Sunday S Clayton Geathers, S Malik Hooker, and G Jeremy Vujnovich.

Colts GM Chris Ballard told reporters on Friday that they expect Hooker to return in early-to-mid August.

Regarding Gathers, Ballard says he underwent “a knee procedure” but added that he’s “close” and is “going to be fine” by all indications.

Hooker is working his way back from torn ACL and MCL in his knee, so it’s not surprising to hear he’ll open camp on the PUP list.

Hooker, 22, is a former first-round pick of the Colts back in 2017. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $12.6 million contract that’s fully guaranteed and stands to make base salaries of $1.03 million and $1.61 million over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2017, Hooker appeared in seven games for the Colts and recorded 22 tackles, three interceptions, and four pass defenses before being placed on injured reserve.
