The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 17 of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars. Bortolini has been unable to practice all week due to the concussion and still remains in the leagues concussion protocol. With Bortolini out, expect veteran backup Danny Pinter to get the start at center.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (neck) has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars. Buckner re-aggravated his neck injury from earlier in the season and will need surgery to fix the herniated disc. He has been placed on injured reserve ending his season early. Expect a platoon of Neville Gallimore and Ade Adebawore to replace him in the starting lineup.
Backup tight end Drew Ogletree (neck) has been ruled OUT for Sundays game against the Jaguars. Ogletree missed practice all week with the neck injury and will therefore miss Sundays game. With Ogletree out, expect to see Will Mallory active this week to provide depth at the position.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson (eye) and safety Daniel Scott (knee) have both been ruled OUT for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Both have managed to practice this week, as Richardson has been limited all week; however, they both have not been deemed ready to be activated from injured reserve yet. Next week will be their last opportunity to return from injured reserve or face remaining inactive for the rest of the year, even if the Colts were able to make the playoffs.
Cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) has been listed at QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Although he carries a questionable designation, Colts head coach Shane Steichen had deemed him ready to return to playing this Sunday. Gardner will be a huge boost for a struggling Colts defense.
Starting left tackle Bernhard Raimann (elbow) has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sundays game against the Jaguars. Raimann missed last week’s game due to the elbow injury, but Coach Steichen has deemed him able to return, upgrading the questionable injury designation. Raimann will be a welcome return to an offensive line struggling for healthy pieces.
Wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has been listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Dulin was designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the week and looks like he could be activated just in time for Sunday’s key divisional game.
