    Just like that, the Colts have lost two players for the season. Coach Chuck Pagano confirmed second-year offensive lineman Ben Ijalana and third-year linebacker A.J. Edds each suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Sunday. Ijalana, a 2011 second-round pick, suffered a similar injury to the same knee at Tampa Bay last year, ending his rookie season. Edds, Greenwood, had joined the team as a free agent and played mostly special teams last season. "You hate to lose anybody in camp or at any time in the season, especially Ben,'' Pagano said. "The guy came back, he had a significant knee injury (in '11), the same knee; two hip surgeries, busted his rear to get healthy and get back, and unfortunately something like this happened. A.J., the same thing. All the hard work and time and preparation that these guys have put in, and then to come out here and in basically a non-contact drill, it happens."
