INJURIES
Michael Pittman Jr. - Questionable after full practice Pittman (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after returning to a full practice Friday.
Impact Despite reports that Pittman could miss multiple weeks, the wideout has a chance to suit up this weekend, after all. Per Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site, Pittman noted Friday "everything is still on the table" in terms of his availability ahead of Week 6 action. Also listed as questionable after practicing fully Friday is Josh Downs (toe), with the duo's status versus Tennessee thus slated to be confirmed when the Colts' inactives are announced ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Josh Downs - Questionable for Week 6 Downs (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Impact After suffering a toe injury this past Sunday in Jacksonville, Downs wasn't able to practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned Friday as a full participant, setting himself up to be available this weekend. Downs, fellow WR Michael Pittman (back) and QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) are questionable for Sunday's contest, and the statuses of the trio will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Set for Week 6 lead role Sermon is poised to lead the Colts' backfield Sunday against the Titans, as Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was ruled out Friday.
Impact Taylor will miss a second consecutive game. In Taylor's absence against the Jaguars in Week 5, Sermon racked up 63 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 10 carries and six catches. Sermon's 16 touches were double the total that Tyler Goodson saw in the Colts backfield, and they could be headed for a similar distribution against Tennessee.

Anthony Richardson - Game-time decision this week Per coach Shane Steichen, Richardson (oblique) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans and is considered a game-time decision for the contest, JJ Stanke...
Impact Richardson practiced in full Thursday, but he's still slated to carry a Week 6 injury designation. His status is thus worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, with added context on that front likely to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday via NFL national reporters like ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. If the Colts elect to exercise caution with Richardson this weekend, veteran Joe Flacco would be next in line for the team's start at QB versus Tennessee.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Ruled out for Sunday Head coach Shane Steichen noted Friday that Taylor (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Titans, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact With Taylor set to miss his second straight contest, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson are in line to handle the Colts' backfield duties versus Tennessee on Sunday, with Evan Hull and Trent Pennix candidates to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 6 action. Taylor's next chance to suit up for a game will occur Oct. 20 against the Dolphins.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Downs - Back at practice Downs (toe) participated in Friday's practice, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Holder, Downs appeared to be moving around well, which offers hope that the wideout could play Sunday against the Titans. Friday's upcoming injury report will clarify the game status' of both Downs and Michael Pittman (back), who was also present for Friday's session.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Spotted at practice Friday Pittman (back) was present for practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pittman was a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, so his presence on the field Friday is notable, considering previous reports that the wideout could miss multiple weeks with a back issue. Friday's final injury report is thus slated to reveal whether Pittman heads into the weekend with any chance of facing the Titans on Sunday.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Not present for start of practice Taylor (ankle) wasn't present at the start of Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so unless he makes an appearance as the session progresses, his status for Sunday's game against the Titans will remain cloudy. If Taylor is unable to play this weekend, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson would be in line to handle the Colts' backfield duties in Week 6.

The Titans are back from their bye and hoping rest helps against the battered Colts

The Tennessee Titans are coming off the early bye nobody really wanted, with the NFL schedule offering a a chance to start making up for their 0-3 start
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • Associated Press
Josh Downs - Remains sidelined Thursday Downs (toe) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Downs didn't practice Wednesday either, so what he's able to do Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Titans. With Michael Pittman (back) reportedly a candidate to miss multiple games, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell are currently the Colts' top healthy wideout options ahead of Week 6 action.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Misses another practice Taylor (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Taylor -- who missed this past Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars -- is feeling "way better" relative to last week. After having missed back-to-back practices though, what (if anything) he's able to do Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up this weekend against the Titans. Meanwhile, top backup Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to a full practice Thursday.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Returns to full practice Sermon (collarbone) was a full practice participant Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sermon is on track to lead the Colts' backfield for a second straight week this Sunday against the Titans, as Jonathan Taylor (ankle) still hasn't returned to practice. Sermon played 58 percent of snaps in a 37-34 loss to Jacksonville this Sunday, turning 10 carries and six targets into 63 yards and a touchdown while Tyler Goodson had 57 yards on five carries and three targets.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Richardson - Full practice participant Richardson (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Richardson is thus set to return for Sunday's game against the Titans after missing just one week. Multiple Indianapolis beat reporters said he looked healthy during Thursday's practice, but it is possible Richardson's continued struggles staying healthy make coach Shane Steichen hesitant to use him as a runner -- an aspect that's already been somewhat disappointing for fantasy managers with Richardson averaging 5.3 carries for 35.3 yards per game.

The Titans finally start AFC South portion of schedule hosting banged-up Colts

Both Indianapolis and Tennessee selected quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL draft
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • Associated Press
Anthony Richardson - Looking god at practice Richardson (oblique) looked "pretty spry" during Thursday's practice, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis.
Impact James Boyd of The Athletic agrees, even saying he'd be surprised if Richardson didn't play this Sunday against the Titans. Richardson may ultimately be listed as a limited practice participant again, but he's clearly making progress and should at least be back for Week 7 if he doesn't quite get the green light this weekend.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Not practicing Thursday Pittman (back) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Pittman, who didn't practice Wednesday, was an observer during Thursday's session, which is not surprising considering a report via James Boyd of The Athletic that the wideout's back injury could sideline him for multiple weeks. We'll await further context regarding Pittman's status from the Colts, but if he is forced to miss time, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell would likely see added snaps alongside Josh Downs, provided a toe issue that caused Downs to miss practice Wednesday doesn't impact his Week 6 availability.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Back at practice Sermon (collarbone) was present for practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though top back Jonathan Taylor indicated that his ankle is feeling better at this stage, he wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Thursday's session. The Colts' upcoming injury report will clarify the official participation level of both Taylor and Sermon.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Not seen as practice opens Taylor (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact While Taylor appears on track to be listed as 'DNP' for the second straight day, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star relays that the running back indicated prior to practice that the "pain level has gone down tremendously" in his ankle. Meanwhile, Taylor's top backup Trey Sermon (collarbone) didn't practice Wednesday, but was present for Thursday's session.
OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Downs - Not spotted Thursday Downs (toe) is not present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Downs and Michael Pittman (back) are both absent from a second consecutive practice, casting doubt on the availability of both wideouts for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans. Friday's practice will represent the final chance for both Downs and Pittman to upgrade their activity levels ahead of Week 6 action. Downs is dealing with a toe injury sustained during Indianapolis' loss to Jacksonville in Week 5, a game in which he secured nine of 12 targets for 69 yards.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press
Michael Pittman Jr. - Could miss time with back injury Pittman is dealing with a back injury that could sideline him multiple weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Per Schefter, IR is a possibility for Pittman, who missed Wednesday's practice. If he indeed misses time, Josh Downs (toe) and Alec Pierce would be in line to lead the Colts' WR corps in his absence, with Adonai Mitchell and Ashton Dulin candidates for added snaps in that scenario.
