Jaylon Carlies

Colts GM Chris Ballard said LB Jaylon Carlies is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.

Carlies started six of the 10 games he appeared in last season for the Colts, and totaled 36 tackles, two TFLs, and one sack in his rookie campaign. The second-year pro moved from safety to linebacker in his first season and dealt with an ankle injury that caused him to miss multiple weeks, but Ballard said the team expects him to be ready by training camp. Carlies has a chance to build on a successful rookie campaign and establish himself as an every-down starter once healthy.
