INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out linebacker Daniel Adongo for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville.
Adongo was on the team’s injury report Friday, but it was listed as “not injury related.” The decision to rule Adongo out came a day after police went to check on a female resident at the home she shares with the Colts linebacker in the Indianapolis suburb of Fishers, Indiana.
The woman notified a friend via text that she needed help. The friend got in touch with the police, who then arrived at the residence. There, the woman said she did not want medical assistance and she could not explain why she sent the text, according to a police report that was sent to the Hamilton County (Indiana) prosecutor’s office to be reviewed. Adongo was not at the residence at the time the police arrived, the report said.
The Colts issued the following statement:
"The Indianapolis Colts are aware of media reports regarding a possible criminal investigation of Daniel Adongo. As is evident from the reports, the facts relating to the alleged incident are highly uncertain. We are investigating the matter and until we have gathered clear information, it would be unfair to all concerned for us to make any public comment."
Adongo spent most of this season on the practice squad before being added to the active roster in Week 11 to play on special teams.
