INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts rookie safety Malik Hooker is out for the season after he tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee during the first half of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a source.

Hooker, the Colts' first-round draft pick, was injured on a 50-yard pass play from Blake Bortles to Allen Hurns late in the first half of Indianapolis' 27-0 loss.
After a cart drove onto the field to take Hooker back to the locker room, the rookie got up and walked to the sideline under his own power. He was declared out for the game.
Veteran Darius Butler moved into the lineup with Matthias Farley at safety.
Hooker has three interceptions this season and was tied for second in the league heading into Week 7.
Information from ESPN Colts reporter Mike Wells and The Associated Press was used in this report.
