The Colts on Sunday announced the passing of linebacker Edwin Jackson.

The second-year player was one of two people killed in a car accident, according to the Indianapolis Star. Indiana State Police tell the Star they suspect Jackson was hit by a drunk driver.

"Jackson and 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe of Avon were standing near a stopped vehicle when a black Ford F-150 pickup truck drove onto the emergency shoulder and struck them both," police said.

Jackson was signed to the Colts' practice squad late in 2015 and played with the team in 2016, recording 66 tackles and playing in all 16 games. He was placed on injured reserve in 2017.

Several Colts players, members of the media and others reacted to Sunday's news with sorrow.
