Back at practice Leonard (concussion/nose/back) was not listed on the team's injury report Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is an excellent sign for Leonard as he's missed the past three games due to a broken nose and undergoing surgery Week 4. Leonard will have two more practice opportunities to get a better idea of what his game status will be for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders.

Practicing on limited basis Leonard (concussion/nose/back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Impact According to Coach Frank Reich, it's primarily Leonard's recovery from the surgery he underwent to repair a broken nose he suffered in Week 4 that's keeping him from returning in earnest at this point, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. The three-time All-Pro's participation in practice Wednesday, though limited, is a positive indication, but if he can't play in Week 7, Bobby Okereke and E.J. Speed will be asked to continue to hold down the fort at linebacker next to Zaire Franklin.

Lacks return timeline Head coach Frank Reich said that Leonard (concussion/nose/back), who has been ruled out for the Colts' Week 6 game against the Jaguars, is without a timeline for returning to the l...

Impact Leonard's recovery from the concussion and a recent surgery to address a fractured nose appear to be the greater concerns for the linebacker at this point than his back, which kept him from playing in the Colts' first three games following offseason surgery. He sustained the concussion and broken nose in his season debut Week 4 and will now miss his second straight game as a result. Based on Reich's comments, the Colts seem content to take Leonard's status on a week-by-week basis, so he could have an outside shot at making it back on the field for an Oct. 23 matchup with the Titans if he demonstrates meaningful progress in his recovery over the next few days.

Won't play Week 6 Colts head coach Frank Reich said Leonard (concussion/nose/back) won't play Sunday against the Jaguars, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The standout linebacker will be sidelined for the second straight contest due to the concussion and a fractured nose, with Reich adding that Leonard underwent surgery to address the latter injury, according to NFL.com. Leonard has suited up in just one of the Colts' first six games this season, after he previously missed the first three weeks while recovering from back surgery. Leonard hasn't practiced since suffering the head injury Oct. 2, so he may not be a lock to make it back in the lineup for the Colts' Week 7 game in Tennessee on Oct. 23.

Logs another DNP Leonard (concussion/nose/back) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact It's been a frustrating start to the season for Leonard, who was sidelined during the team's first three contests while recovering from back surgery. He was finally able to make his season debut in Week 4 versus the Titans, just to be ruled out after 16 snaps with a concussion. Leonard then missed last Thursday's game against the Colts due to the concussion and a broken nose, and his inability to practice yet this week doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. If the 230-pounder is eventually ruled out this weekend, Bobby Okereke and Zaire Franklin are in line for heavy snap counts, while E.J. Speed figures to also be in the mix in Indianapolis' linebacker corps.

Misses practice Wednesday Leonard (concussion/nose) didn't participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Leonard missed Indianapolis' overtime victory in Denver last Thursday, and despite the longer turnaround for Week 6, the star linebacker doesn't look as though he's made much meaningful progress in his recovery from the concussion. He's also dealing with a fractured nose, and the two injuries could put him in danger of missing a second straight game Sunday against the Jaguars. The Colts will likely wait until after Friday's practice before determining Leonard's status for Sunday's contest.

Impact While making his 2022 debut in the Week 4 loss to the Titans, Leonard played just 16 snaps before exiting when he was diagnosed with the concussion. Due to the quick turnaround for the Week 5 matchup, the Colts officially ruled Leonard out for the game Monday, but the broken nose looks like it could threaten the star linebacker's availability beyond this week even if he clears the five-step concussion protocol. Reich said Leonard will first need the swelling on his nose to subside before the Colts determine whether the injury is something that will be problematic moving forward.
