The Indianapolis Colts today released their Thursday injury report for Week 5 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Wide receiver Michael Pittman was limited at practice today due to a hamstring injury. Pittman was not on the injury report yesterday, so it would appear he sustained the injury during practice today. Pittman will need to be able to practice tomorrow in some capacity to be available for Sunday. He is definitely one to keep an eye on tomorrow.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce was a full participant at practice again today. Pierce appears to be ready to pass through the concussion protocol after managing two back-to-back full practices this week. He will have one final check to complete before Sunday to confirm he can play.
Both linebacker Zaire Franklin and right guard Matt Goncalves were full participants today after being limited yesterday. Franklin, who is dealing with an ankle injury, and Goncalves, who is working his way back from a toe injury, have increased their chances of being able to play this Sunday with today’s practice.
Cornerback Kenny Moore missed practice today with an Achilles injury. Moore is likely to be ruled out of this week’s game after tomorrow’s practice. Mike Hilton will likely get a call-up from the practice squad in Moore’s place.
Defensive end Tyquan Lewis was limited in practice today with an oblique injury. Lewis was not on the injury report yesterday, so it appears the injury occurred in practice today. Lewis is a key part of the defensive line rotation and would be a huge absence for a strong defense.
