Arizona Cardinals’ veteran running back Marlon Mack tore his Achilles and will miss the entire 2023 NFL season as a result. The news was confirmed to reporters by the team’s head coach Jonathan Gannon on Wednesday.

Mack suffered the injury during Tuesday’s practice. It came less than a week after he signed with the Cardinals on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old player already came back from an Achilles tear once before. 

Mack entered the NFL as the fourth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent the first five years of his career in Indy and had his best season in 2019 when he rushed for 1,091 yards and eight touchdowns.

The South Florida product spent the 2022 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos. He had a total of 16 carries, all of which came with the Broncos, and rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown.

The Cardinals signed Mack with the intention of adding depth to their running back corps. It is unclear whether the team will turn to the free agent market again or rely on undrafted rookie Emari Demercado and former practice squad back Ty’Son Williams.

Running back Marlon Mack’s time with the Indianapolis Colts has reportedly come to an end. According to multiple reports, the Colts are shopping Mack around the league, and the player isn’t opposed to this scenario.

Mack didn’t find much playing time in 2021, managing only five carries for 16 yards through the first three weeks. Things aren’t expected to get better for the 25-year-old running back as the Colts season progresses, prompting a mutual agreement between the two sides to go their separate ways.

The Colts are currently committed to Jonathan Taylor as their leading runner after the 2020 second-rounder had an impressive rookie season that saw him rush for 1,169 yards and 11 touchdowns. Meanwhile, fourth-year player Nyheim Hines is firmly slotted at the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, especially since inking a three-year, $18.6 million contract extension earlier this month.

Marlon Mack was Indianapolis’ number one option back when entering the 2020 NFL season but suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Mack re-signed with the Colts in March and recovered in time to play this year but found a very different landscape upon his return.

In his four years as a Colt, Mack rushed for 2,383 yards and 20 TDs. He also has 55 catches for 440 yards and two receiving touchdowns.

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack tore his ACL in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season and will miss the rest of the year.

Mack is the Colts starting RB and the team was looking for him to lead their rushing attack this year. He was only able to string together four carries for 26 yards and three catches for another 30 yards before the injury occurred.

Mack had a breakout season last year with the Colts, rushing for 1,091 yards as the team’s starting running back.

Mack’s entire career thus far has been marred with injuries. In his four years in the league, he has never played a complete 16-game season.

The running back is scheduled to become a free agent next season, and since he hasn’t been able to stay healthy enough to show the Colts that he’s worth a contract extension, expect Mack to be looking for work elsewhere come free agency in 2021.

Not only did the Colts lose their starting running back for the year, Indianapolis ended up losing Sunday’s game as well to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who many predicted would be one of the worst teams in the NFL this season.

The Indianapolis Colts, who find themselves in the fight for a spot in the AFC playoffs heading into the home stretch of the season, got a bit of discouraging news in the form of an injury on Monday.

Marlon Mack, the team’s leading rusher in the 2019 season, is expected to be out for an indefinite amount of time due to hand surgery.

Mack underwent surgery on Monday in order to fix an injury that occurred during the Colts’ 33-13 win on Sunday over the Jacksonville Jaguars. After rushing for a large gain, he was forced out of bounds by a tackler and immediately felt pain in his right hand.

The 23-year-old running back was diagnosed with a fractured metacarpal bone after undergoing X-rays.

Mack’s absence will be felt by the 6-4 Colts, who have seen their 2017 4th round draft pick rush for 862 yards and 7 touchdowns on the season. He has been a consistent force in the backfield for a team that has managed to overcome the preseason retirement of Andrew Luck to find itself in playoff position.

Jonathan Williams and Jordan Wilkins are expected to shoulder the load of carries during the starting running back’s recovery from surgery.
