Indianapolis Colts Injury Report: Two Starters Ruled OUT While Three More Are QUESTIONABLE

The Indianapolis Colts released their Friday practice report.

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 4 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Cornerback Kenny Moore has been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game against the Steelers due to a hip injury. Moore injured his hip late in last weeks game against the Bears and has missed practice all week because of it. With Moore out expect Samuel Womack to get the start in his place at nickel corner.

Defensive end Kwity Paye been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game against the Steelers due to a quad injury. Paye injured his quad against the Bears and has been unable to practice all week. With Paye out expect a rotation of Laiatu Latu, Dayo Odeyingbo, Isaiah Land and Tyquan Lewis if he plays, at defensive end.

Right tackle Braden Smith is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Steelers with a knee injury. Smith missed practice Wednesday but practice full on Thursday before missing practice again on Friday so it is has to judge which direction his availability is going in. If Smith cannot play Sunday expect either second year Blake Freeland or rookie Matt Goncalves to start at right tackle.

Defensive end Tyquan Lewis is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Steelers with calf and wrist injuries. Similar to Smith, Lewis managed a full practice this week but also missed two others so it throws shade on his availability for Sunday. If Lewis is out Sunday it leaves the Colts very thin and I experienced at defensive end.

Center Ryan Kelly is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Steelers with a neck injury. Kelly popped up in the injury report on Thursday but missed Friday practice too. It would appear to be a practice injury which he is dealing with. If Kelly cannot play Sunday expect a start at center for Danny Pinter in Kelly’s place.
