The injury news is in on Sam Ehlinger.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback is expected to miss somewhere between four and six weeks due to his knee injury.

Ehlinger got hurt in the Colts' preseason game on Friday night and was replaced by Brett Hundley. On Saturday, we learned that Ehlinger has a knee sprain. He does not need surgery, but the recovery time frame is somewhere between four to six weeks.

Carson Wentz is recovering from a foot surgery and wants to play in Week 1 . Now that Ehlinger is out, if Wentz cannot play, Jacob Eason will get the start for the Colts in Week 1 against the Seahawks.
