INJURIES
Colts' WR Josh Downs feels 'real close;' status for Sunday 'up in the air' Colts’ wide receiver Josh Downs says he feels “real close,” and his status for Sunday’s game is still “up in the air.”
SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • USATODAY.COM
Still not practicing Downs (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Downs, who suffered a high-ankle sprain Aug. 7, has two more chances to log practice reps ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Texans. If he ends up being unavailable for the contest, fellow WRs Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce would be in store for added opportunities versus Houston behind No. 1 receiver Michael Pittman.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Week 1 Coach Shane Steichen noted Monday that Downs is "progressing well" while rehabbing his high-ankle sprain, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Impact That said, it's unclear if Downs will be able to practice Wednesday, with the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Texans to be determined, per James Boyd of The Athletic. If Downs is unavailable for Week 1 action, look for Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce to see added opportunities this weekend behind top WR Michael Pittman.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
No return to practice Downs (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Downs hasn't practiced since suffering a high-ankle sprain Aug. 7, which was 32 days before the Colts' season opener against Houston (Sept. 8). Coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that he's hopeful Downs will be available for the game, but the wideout's continued absences from practice suggest he's in danger of sitting out. Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell both had full-time roles on the first-team offense this preseason alongside No. 1 receiver Michael Pittman.

Status for Week 1 unclear Colts coach Shane Steichen said Sunday he is hopefull that Downs (ankle) will be available for the start of the regular season, but his timeline for a return is still unclear, Jame...
Impact Downs has been sidelined since suffering a high-ankle sprain during practice Aug. 7. While he shed his walking boot last Thursday, the 23-year-old still seems to have some way to go before Inidanapolis' season opener verus Houston on Sunday, Sept. 8. Downs is coming off a breakout rookie season with 68 catches for 771 yards across 17 regular-season games. Should he miss time, then Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce will be next in line to play alongside top wideout Michael Pittman.

Seen without boot on ankle Downs no longer has a boot on his injured left ankle as he'd previously been using a boot or scooter at practice, Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated reports. Downs did not play in T...
Impact Downs suffered a left high-ankle sprain during an Aug. 7 practice and was expected to miss four-to-six weeks. It's not clear if he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but the lack of a boot on his ankle is a positive sign.

Impact Per Rapoport, Downs' recovery time could be in the 4-6 week range, though the hope is that the wideout's timeline could end up on the shorter end of the estimate. In any case, Downs' status for the Colts' Sept. 8 regular-season opener could be impacted, and if so, added opportunities would be available early on for fellow WRs Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce alongside Michael Pittman.

Receiver Josh Downs leaves Colts training camp practice early after suffering ankle injury

Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs needed help to get off the field after injuring his ankle Wednesday in practice
AUGUST 7, 2024 • Associated Press
High ankle sprain, per report Downs reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain during Wednesday's practice, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Fowler, the initial outlook is that Downs could miss about a month, but that's not yet a concrete estimate, as the Colts are currently sorting that out. In any case, Downs' Week 1 status will be worth monitoring closely, and if he's out or limited early on this season, Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce could see added opportunities alongside Michael Pittman.

No update on severity of injury Coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that he's unsure of the severity of Downs' ankle injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Downs reportedly didn't put much weight on his injured leg when he was helped off the practice field Wednesday morning. Initial reports sounded pessimistic, potentially creating a hitch for a young wide receiver who has been a popular breakout candidate in fantasy circles this summer. Downs had a 68-771-2 receiving line on 98 targets last season, mostly working the slot after Indianapolis took him 79th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Injures ankle in practice Downs left practice with a leg/ankle injury Wednesday morning, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Downs reportedly wasn't putting any weight on his injured leg when he was helped off the field to the medical tent. He'll likely miss the rest of practice, potentially freeing up more reps for Adonai Mitchell, Alec Pierce and/or Ashton Dulin.
