Indianapolis Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez indeed has a torn Achilles, per a spokesperson with the team Wednesday.
This was the fear from the beginning when the news initially broke Tuesday following training camp practice. Sanchez tore his Achilles at the end of practice when the Colts were running sprints.
With Sanchez suffering the likely season-ending injury, the Colts will now have to take a look at the free-agent market for a punter.
From a Colts Spokesperson:
At the conclusion of testing, it has been determined that Rigoberto Sanchez has suffered a torn Achilles
In addition, Ryan Kelly will not practice due to illness (COVID).

If Sanchez does miss the entire 2022 season, he is expected to return for the 2023 season, which will be the final year of his current contract.
