Darius Leonard practices on Tuesday

Mike Florio and Chris Simms debate whether the Colts are in trouble after suffering injuries to Carson Wentz and Quenton Nelson.

Colts linebacker Darius Leonard got a new contract over the weekend and the good news kept on coming Tuesday.

Leonard took part in his first practice of training camp a couple of days after agreeing to a five-year extension that cements him as a cornerstone of the defense in Indianapolis. Leonard had ankle surgery before camp started and was rehabbing from that procedure over the last couple of weeks.

The extension has a total value of $99.25 million with more than $52 million in guarantees, which reflects how good Leonard has been since joining the Colts as a second-round pick in 2018.

Now that Leonard is healthy, he can work on regaining the form that made him an All-Pro twice in his first two seasons and paved the way for his new pact.
