Daniel Scott - Officially done for 2025 Scott (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Scott was placed on injured reserve in early October due to a knee injury. His practice window opened mid-December, but despite being a full participant in practice all week, the 2023 fifth-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. Scott logged two solo tackles across four regular-season games while contributing mostly on special teams and will aim to be fully healthy for the 2026 campaign.

Tanor Bortolini - Cleared to play Week 18 Bortolini (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Bortolini missed last Sunday's loss to the Jaguars after being concussed in the Week 16 loss to the 49ers. He's made all 15 of his starts this season at center.
JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
Zaire Franklin - Set for Sunday Franklin (illness) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Franklin appeared on the injury report Thursday with an illness that prevented him from practicing. The linebacker was able to upgrade to a full participant Friday, just in time to clear him of any injury designation for Sunday's contest. Franklin is set to suit up beside Austin Ajiake and Germaine Pratt, with Buddy Johnson and Segun Olubi operating as reserve linebackers if the starters get injured or need to sit out some snaps.

Philip Rivers - Uncertain to be active Week 18 Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that the team has not yet decided whether Rivers will be active for Sunday's season finale against the Texans, and that recent practice-...
Impact Rivers' post-retirement return for Indianapolis has officially come to an end with the team having been eliminated from playoff contention, so the Colts are opting to allocate available reps to younger signal-callers to close out the 2025 campaign. It's possible, though, that Rivers could be active in the No. 3 role or operate as the team's emergency third-string QB. Per Boyd and Jordy Fee-Platt of The Athletic, Rivers has already confirmed that he will retire for a second time after Sunday's season finale, bringing his playing career in the NFL to a permanent end.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Will Mallory - Won't play in Week 18 Mallory (lung) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact Mallory was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday and is now in line to miss the Week 18 divisional matchup due to a lung issue. The third-year pro from Miami appeared in just two games for Indianapolis this season, catching his lone target for 16 yards across 16 offensive snaps. While Mallory is sidelined Sunday, expect Tyler Warren and Mo Alie-Cox to serve as the Colts' top tight ends.

Seth Henigan - To be QB2 in Week 18 Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Henigan will act as the top backup to starting quarterback Riley Leonard during Sunday's season finale against the Texans, James Bo...
Impact Henigan inked with Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, and he'll now get a chance to make his NFL debut in the Colts' season finale. Steichen says it hasn't yet been determined whether veteran Philip Rivers will be active as the team's No. 3 quarterback Sunday. An undrafted rookie, Henigan threw for 3,502 yards, 25 touchdowns and six interceptions in his final season at Memphis in 2024.
JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE
Sauce Gardner - Remains sidelined Sunday Gardner (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact The Cincinnati product aggravated his calf injury in the Week 17 loss to the Jaguars and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. Gardner appeared in 11 games with the Jets and Colts in 2025, recording 36 total tackles and nine passes defensed. Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards will likely operate as Indianapolis' top boundary corners while Gardner is out in Week 18.
