The Indianapolis Colts released their Wednesday injury report today for Week 5 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Linebacker Zaire Franklin missed practice with an ankle injury today. Franklin has been a mainstay on the Colts’ defense and is a leader in the locker room. The Colts’ linebacker play has been bad for a while, but the team can’t afford to lose Franklin with the current lack of depth behind him.
Right Guard Matt Goncalves was limited at practice today with a toe injury. Goncalves missed a full week of practice and last Sunday’s game due to the toe injury, so it is good to see him making progress. Goncalves has been brilliant this season in his first year starting at guard, and the team can’t really afford to have him missing a prolonged time.
Cornerback Kenny Moore missed practice today with an Achilles injury. Moore is still not practicing and will continue to miss game time. Expect him to be ruled out quickly this week, too.
Alec Pierce was a full participant at practice day. Pierce missed last week’s game due to a concussion. He continues to remain in the league’s concussion protocol, but a full practice today means he is likely to clear the protocol and play Sunday.
