Colts Honoring Late Edwin Jackson At Home Game Against Texans

The Colts will take on the Houston Texans in week 4 of the NFL season.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — The Colts are back home Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium after a four-point loss last week to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Houston Texans head to Indianapolis this weekend with a 0-3 record, while the Colts sit at 1-2.

But most importantly, the Colts will honor and celebrate the life of linebacker Edwin Jackson, who was killed on Feb. 4 along with his Uber driver, Jeffrey Monroe, when both were hit by a drunk driver on the side of I-70. The team will make a $25,000 donation to the Edwin Jackson 53 Foundation and the players will be wearing an "EJ" helmet sticker, while the coaches wear an "EJ" pin. The team said Jackson's family will be in attendance.
