INJURIES
Trey Sermon - Back to limited role on offense Sermon had one reception for 14 yards and no carries in Sunday's loss at Houston.
Impact With the return of Jonathan Taylor from an ankle injury, Sermon moved to a limited backup role. He played on just 10 of the offense's 64 snaps while Taylor played on 52 snaps and Tyler Goodson played on two snaps. Sermon will likely have a minimal role while Taylor is healthy.

Ronnie Harrison Jr. - Gets promotion Harrison was signed to the Colts' 53-man roster from their practice squad Monday.
Impact Harrison's move to the active roster comes as Indianapolis placed fellow safety Trevor Denbow (knee) on IR. The veteran will likely fill a depth role behind starters Julian Blackmon and Nick Cross but mostly contribute on special teams.

Bernhard Raimann - In concussion protocol Raimann is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Titans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Raimann played 100-percent of Indianapolis' offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, but it now appears he sustained a concussion in the process. The third-year pro from Central Michigan has already missed two games this season due to a concussion sustained in late September, putting him at risk of missing additional time following his second concussion this season. Expect Blake Freeland to serve as the Colts' top left tackle if Raimann is unable to suit up in Week 9, when the team travels to Minnesota.

Impact Flacco played one snap on offense in Sunday's loss at Houston when Richardson pulled himself from the game due to the need for rest, which drew criticism Monday from his teammates. Flacco filled in admirably with a 7:1 TD:INT in three games (two starts) when Richardson was injured earlier in the season. The Colts may decide Flacco gives the team a better chance to win while they still have shot at the playoffs and delay Richardson's development. A starter likely won't be announced until later in the week.

Adonai Mitchell - Just one reception in loss Mitchell had one reception for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.
Impact Mitchell again continues to be a favorite of quarterback Anthony Richardson in the fourth receiver role as he had four targets on ten routes while playing on just 13 of the offense's 64 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. However, the Colts may switch to Joe Flacco at quaterback this week at Minnesota.

Anthony Richardson - Starting role in flux for Week 9 Colts head coach Shane Steichen said "we're evaluating everything" when asked Monday whether Richardson will start Sunday's game against the Vikings, Stephen Holder of ESPN.comrepo...
Impact Steichen clarified that Richardson remains Indianapolis' starting quarterback as of Monday, per James Boyd of The Athletic, but it sounds like the coaching staff is evaluating at least a temporary shift under center for Week 9. Richardson's efficiency was miserable during the team's 23-20 loss to the Texans in Week 8, as he completed just 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards with one touchdown and an interception. The second-year pro added 45 rushing yards on six carries, but he also fumbled twice, losing one. Richardson's development as a passer hasn't lived up to expectations through six appearances this season, while Joe Flacco performed admirably in his three-game stretch under center from Week 4 through Week 6. Heading into a difficult Week 9 road matchup against Minnesota, it looks like the Colts' quarterback position needs to be considered 'up-in-the-air' until further notice.

Alec Pierce - Just one reception in loss Pierce had one reception for 15 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.
Impact Pierce was able to get open deep several times but quarterback Anthony Richardson struggled to make accurate passes to make a connection. Pierce remains one of Anthony Richardson's favorite targets but is going to be a boom-or-bust option for fantasy purposes each week as is he's mostly a deep threat in the offense.

Michael Pittman Jr. - More inefficiency with Richardson Pittman secured one of six targets for 16 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Pittman struggled through another game with Anthony Richardson as his quarterback, finishing a very distant second to Josh Downs in receiving yards on the afternoon. Pittman has now finished under 40 receiving yards in three of the last four games, and he's therefore on track to finish with his lowest numbers across the board since his rookie 2020 campaign.

Impact Downs led the Colts with a season-high receiving yardage total, and he was the only Indianapolis pass catcher to record more than 16 yards during what was another highly inefficient performance by Anthony Richardson. Richardson recorded his third touchdown of the season on a dynamic 69-yard catch late in the first quarter, and he had a 25-yard grab in the final period that was initially ruled a touchdown before being overturned on replay. Downs now has at least 66 receiving yards in five of the last six games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a tough road matchup against the Vikings next Sunday night.

Jonathan Taylor - Over 100 yards in return Taylor (ankle) rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 12 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Taylor looked no worse for wear after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, with the star running back ripping off several solid gains on his way to his third 100-yard effort of the season. Taylor also found the end zone for the fifth time on the campaign via a one-yard run shortly before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and he now has at least 88 rushing yards in four consecutive contests. Taylor will draw another tough on-paper matchup when the Colts travel to face the Vikings next Sunday night.
