General manager Chris Ballard said Monday that Wohler is at the end of his rehab for the foot injury he suffered during preseason last year, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Wohler's rookie year was cut short by a season-ending foot injury he sustained during the second week of the preseason, but the hope is that he won't have any limitations when Indianapolis kicks off training camp in July. After the Colts lost starting safety Nick Cross to the Commanders in free agency, they neglected to bring in any big name as a replacement, meaning there could be room for Wohler to earn a spot on the 53-man roster this summer.

The safety and seventh-round pick left Saturday's preseason game against the Packers with the injury and is expected to be out for the season, per Paul Breti of USA Today. Wohler got a chance to start that game with Nick Cross (hip) out, and he was projecting as a possible third safety for the Colts before the injury.

Colts' Hunter Wohler: Hurts foot in Saturday's exhibition
Rotowire
Wohler has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay due to a foot injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Hunter got an opportunity to start Saturday with Nick Cross (hip) unable to suit up. However, Wohler joined Cross among an injury-riddled Colts secondary after hurting his foot at some point in the first quarter. Prior to his exit, Wohler notched two tackles (one solo). He's had a solid training camp and is expected to make the roster as a rotational and versatile defensive back if the foot issue doesn't prove to be serious.

Colts' Hunter Wohler: Colts pick up Round 7 safety
Rotowire
The Colts selected Wohler in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 232nd overall.
Wohler (6-foot-2, 213 pounds) might not have the athleticism to thrive as a starter, but he started two years at Wisconsin and was a productive enforcer type for the Badgers. Wohler could have done worse with his athletic testing (4.57-second 40-yard dash, 6.72-second three-cone drill), so he has a chance to stick as a strong safety for Indianapolis. Wisconsin defenders are often well-coached and have a way of sticking around the league, but Wohler will probably need to earn his initial ticket to playing time on special teams.
