The Colts reportedly will have to defend their Super Bowl title without a key member of their defensive line.

The Indianapolis Star, citing multiple sources, reported Monday that defensive tackle Anthony McFarland informed his teammates that he suffered a serious knee injury in practice on Friday. The Star reported that it's believed that McFarland tore a patella tendon, likely ending his season before it begins.
Even with the 6-foot, 300-pound McFarland, the Colts had problems against the run last season, allowing 173 yards on the ground per game. Now Indianapolis apparently will have to replace its best run-stuffer.
McFarland's injury comes soon after the team parted ways with defensive lineman Corey Simon, who missed all of last season with a knee injury and reportedly failed a Colts physical last week.
McFarland was acquired from the Buccaneers at the trading deadline last season.
