Officially active for Week 18 Facyson (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.
Impact Facyson left Week 17 with a concussion, but after not practicing Wednesday, he logged a limited session Thursday and was full go Friday. He was still listed as questionable for Week 18, but he's since cleared concussion protocol and will be available for the Colts' season finale. Facyson could see an expanded role with Stephon Gilmore (wrist) inactive and Kenny Moore (ankle) on injured reserve.

Unavailable for Week 18 Facyson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Impact Facyson exited last Sunday's loss to the Giants with a concussion, leaving him sidelined during the Colts' practice Wednesday. The 28-year-old was able to increase his practice activity on back-to-back days en route to a full session Friday, though he'll still sit out the team's inconsequential regular-season finale. Facyson has played a rotational role on defense across 15 games this season, so his absence should leave Tony Brown and Darrell Baker to step up into bigger roles behind Dallis Flowers and Stephon Gilmore (wrist), the latter of whom is still questionable to play Week 18.

Exits with concussion Facyson left Sunday's loss to the Giants due to a concussion and did not return, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Facyson's season is likely over as a result as there's little reason for him to play in Week 18 with nothing left for the Colts to play for. The veteran cornerback has been filling a rotational role in the Colts' secondary, logging between 43 and 56 percent of the team's defensive snaps over the prior three contests.

The veteran cornerback has been filling a rotational role in the Colts' secondary, logging between 43 and 56 percent of the team's defensive snaps over his past three contests.

Won't suit up Saturday Facyson (illness) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Facyson failed to practice all week due to an illness, and it's since been revealed that he won't suit up this weekend in Minnesota. With fellow cornerback Kenny Moore (ankle) also sidelined Saturday, the Colts are now left with Stephon Gilmore, Isaiah Rodgers, Dallis Flowers and Tony Brown at the position.

Doubtful for Saturday Facyson (illness) did not practice Thursday and has been deemed doubtful for Saturday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Facyson appears to have come down with an illness following the Colts' Week 14 bye, which kept him sidelined in all three of the team's practices Week 15. Barring any significant improvements in his health over the next two days, the 28-year-old will now likely miss his first game of the 2022 campaign. Facyson has recorded 20 tackles and five passes defended while serving a rotational role over much of the season, and his absence would leave Indianapolis' secondary even more undermanned with top nickel corner Kenny Moore (also) already ruled out against Minnesota.

Concussion confirmed Facyson sustained a concussion during Saturday's wild-card contest at Cincinnati.
Impact The diagnosis isn't a surprise after Facyson took a hit to the helmet from teammate Cory Littleton early in the third quarter. Facyson remained on the turf for a spell before he was able to jog off the field under his own power. Having said that, a visit to the sideline tent was enough for the Raiders to rule him out. Desmond Trufant took over for Facyson at outside cornerback for the rest of Saturday's game.

May have head injury Facyson is under evaluation for a head injury during Saturday's wild-card game at Cincinnati.
Impact Facyson was on the receiving end of friendly fire from linebacker Corey Littleton on the Bengals' first offensive possession of the second half. Immediately, Facyson's teammates called for attention from the Raiders' medical staff, but the cornerback eventually was able to jog off the field. As long as Facyson is sidelined, Desmond Trufant likely will fill in for him at outside cornerback.

Impact Since signing with the Raiders in early October, Facyson has started nine of his 12 appearances, totaling 55 tackles and one interception during that span.
