  09/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. Latu sustained a hip injury in the Colts' Week 2 loss against the Packers. The rookie first-round pick logged back-to-back DNPs to start the week, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday to give himself a shot at suiting up Sunday. If Latu cannot play, Dayo Odeyingbo would serve as the Colts' top rotational defensive end behind starters Kwity Paye and Tyquan Lewis.

• Colts' Laiatu Latu: Should be OK

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu, who left Sunday's loss to the Packers early with a hip injury, is expected to be fine moving forward, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Latu is expected to undergo further tests Monday to confirm those expectations, but in the meantime should be considered questionable for Week 3 against the Bears. The 2024 first-round selection picked up his first career tackle and fumble recovery before exiting against Green Bay, and if healthy, could see a larger role this Sunday if DeForest Buckner (ankle) is unable to play.

  08/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Latu had one tackle and pressured the quarterback three times in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver, but didn't play much on run downs, the Indianapolis Star reports. It was a promising debut for the 2024 first-round draft pick. Kwity Paye and Tyquan Lewis started at defensive end, but Latu will also be counted on heavily, and perhaps more than initially expected, due to Samson Ebukam's season-ending Achilles injury.
