Colts lose FB Thompson for season Posted: Saturday August 16, 2003 11:37 PMINDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indianapolis Colts fullback Donnel Thompson will miss this season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. "He's one of our leaders on special teams, a guy who practices hard," coach Tony Dungy said Saturday. "Someone else will have to step up." Thompson was injured Friday night while covering a punt early in the second quarter of Indianapolis' 21-7 preseason win over Seattle. "I guess I was on someone's back hip and I tried to stop on his leg," Thompson said. "I kept on going." Thompson was helped off the field by two trainers then was carted into the locker room. He had an MRI on Saturday morning and showed up in the locker room on crutches. Thompson is in his third year with the Colts after spending his rookie season with Pittsburgh. He's played primarily on special teams and occasionally at linebacker before the Colts moved him to fullback in training camp.
