Indianapolis Colts rookie safety Malik Hooker's first NFL campaign is over after he suffered a torn ACL and MCL in Sunday's shutout loss to the divisional rival Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reports, citing sources.
The 21-year-old was taken with the 15th overall pick out of Ohio State in this year's draft, and promptly cemented his place as an integral member of the team's D.
He hits the shelf with 22 tackles, four pass breakups, and three interceptions to his name.
Hooker took to Twitter after the news broke to thank fans and pledge he will return:
