Wohler (foot) was put on injured reserve by the Colts on Monday.
The safety and seventh-round pick left Saturday's preseason game against the Packers with the injury and is expected to be out for the season, per Paul Breti of USA Today. Wohler got a chance to start that game with Nick Cross (hip) out, and he was projecting as a possible third safety for the Colts before the injury.

Colts' Hunter Wohler: Hurts foot in Saturday's exhibition
Rotowire
Wohler has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay due to a foot injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Hunter got an opportunity to start Saturday with Nick Cross (hip) unable to suit up. However, Wohler joined Cross among an injury-riddled Colts secondary after hurting his foot at some point in the first quarter. Prior to his exit, Wohler notched two tackles (one solo). He's had a solid training camp and is expected to make the roster as a rotational and versatile defensive back if the foot issue doesn't prove to be serious.
Colts' Hunter Wohler: Colts pick up Round 7 safety
Rotowire
The Colts selected Wohler in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 232nd overall.
Wohler (6-foot-2, 213 pounds) might not have the athleticism to thrive as a starter, but he started two years at Wisconsin and was a productive enforcer type for the Badgers. Wohler could have done worse with his athletic testing (4.57-second 40-yard dash, 6.72-second three-cone drill), so he has a chance to stick as a strong safety for Indianapolis. Wisconsin defenders are often well-coached and have a way of sticking around the league, but Wohler will probably need to earn his initial ticket to playing time on special teams.
