Sitting out again Sunday Coach Frank Reich ruled out Leonard (back) for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Leonard continues to work his way back from June back surgery, but his season debut will be delayed to Week 4 against the Titans, at the earliest. Reich told George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin on Friday that Leonard had a "really good week" of prep and has made "incremental" progress in his recovery, but he's not quite ready for game action. Zaire Franklin and, to a lesser extent, E.J. Speed will continue to be beneficiaries of Leonard's absence.

Still uncertain for Sunday Leonard (back) won't know if he'll play in Week 3 until after practice Thursday or Friday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Leonard underwent back surgery in June and still hasn't fully recovered from the procedure. The Pro-Bowl linebacker has shifted between a full and limited participant in practice over the past couple of weeks, but he still hasn't played this season. If he can suit up Week 3 against the Chiefs, it'd be a major boon for the Colts defense. However, if he were to miss another week, Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed will continue to see increased snaps on defense.

Full participant Wednesday Leonard (back) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice report.
Impact Though Leonard is a full participant for a third straight Wednesday practice, he's still waiting to make his season debut. The star linebacker has shown positive progress in his rehab, but Indianapolis has remained cautious with him. If Leonard is sidelined for a third consecutive contest Sunday against the Chiefs, E.J. Speed would likely draw another start.
