INJURIES

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.

Matt Gay - Perfect in Week 8 Gay went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Gay was once again perfect in Week 8, nailing a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter and a 37-yarder in the third. Through seven games in 2024, the kicker has gone 12-for-13 on field goals and a perfect 16-for-16 on PATs.

Anthony Richardson - Highly inefficient in loss Richardson completed 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing six times for 45 yards in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He al...
Impact Richardson came into the game having completed just 48.5 percent of his throws, but he was even more inefficient Sunday yet nearly led the Colts to a win. A bulk of Richardson's yardage also came on two big throws to Josh Downs, who recorded gains of 69 and 25 yards while scoring on the first one and just missing a touchdown on the second. Richardson also managed to spike the ball with one second remaining to give the Colts one final chance at a game-winning throw, but he took a sack and fumbled on the final play of the game. The second-year signal-caller has an unenviable matchup in Week 9, as the Colts will travel to face the Vikings in a Sunday night interconference clash.

Trevor Denbow - Quickly ruled out for Week 8 Denbow (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Denbow injured his leg on the opening kickoff, and he was promptly ruled out after going to the locker room. Rodney Thomas will be the Colts' lone backup safety for the rest of Sunday's game behind starters Julian Blackmon and Nick Cross.

Trevor Denbow - Exits game with knee injury Denbow is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Houston due to a knee injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Denbow suffered the injury during Sunday's opening kickoff. He has played solely on special teams over the first seven games of the regular season, accruing one solo tackle over that span.

How to Watch Texans vs. Colts: Time, TV Channel and Live Stream – 2024 Week 8
Cameron McGrone - Activated from injured reserve The Colts activated McGrone (elbow) from IR on Saturday and removed his injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact McGrone will be available to suit up on the road versus Houston on Sunday. The veteran linebacker missed the start of the 2024 regular season due to a dislocated elbow suffered during training camp, which required surgery. Now ready to retake the field, McGrone is expected to handle a depth role on defense for Indianapolis.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylon Carlies - Placed on injured reserve The Colts placed Carlies (lower leg) on IR on Saturday.
Impact Carlies will now have to spend at least the next four games on injured reserve as he works his way back from a lower leg injury sustained Week 7 versus the Dolphins. The rookie fifth-round pick has played a rotational role through seven regular-season appearances, and recorded 21 tackles (14 solo) including 1.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed in that span.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
DeForest Buckner - Ready to rock The Colts activated Buckner (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, in advance of Sunday's divisional matchup at Houston.
Impact Buckner has missed five games since being placed on IR due to a high-ankle sprain sustained Week 2, and he's now all clear for Sunday's game against the Texans. The Colts have lifted Buckner's initial 'questionable' designation for Week 8 action entirely, indicating that the star defensive tackle is ready to handle his usual starting workload.

2024 NFL odds Week 8: Lines, spreads for all 16 games
Genard Avery - Will miss Week 8 Avery (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Texans.
Impact Avery didn't practice at all this week due to a foot injury. He's played in only one game so far this season, logging two defensive snaps Week 5 against the Jaguars, so Avery's absence Sunday isn't likely to have much of an impact on the Colts' defensive game plan.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylon Carlies - Ruled out for Week 8 Carlies (lower leg) won't play against Houston on Sunday.
Impact Carlies was injured last Sunday versus the Dolphins and didn't practice at all this week. The linebacker has played a rotational role on defense for Indianapolis this season, and he's yet to log more than half of the team's defensive snaps in a contest. With Carlies out Sunday, Grant Stuard could take up his snaps.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
DeForest Buckner - Doesn't practice Friday Buckner (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Friday's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Impact Buckner's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he looked to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Thursday. However, he wasn't on the field for Friday's session, and it's uncertain whether it was a planned rest day or a setback. Unless announced earlier, Buckner's status for Sunday's game will be known once the Colts release their inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jonathan Taylor - Set to return Sunday Taylor (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Houston, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Impact Taylor sustained a right high-ankle sprain Week 4 against the Steelers and has missed the last three games as a result, but his ability to handle a full allotment of practice reps both Thursday and Friday indicates he's ready to take on most, if not all, of his normal workload. Prior to the injury, he averaged 19.5 touches for 106.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four rushing TDs in four contests. If Taylor cedes any work to other RBs, though, Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson will be on hand to give him the occasional breather.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - No Week 8 injury designation Pittman (back) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact After practicing fully Thursday, Pittman didn't practice Friday, but given that he heads into the weekend minus an injury designation, his non-participation was presumably maintenance-related as he continues to work through a back issue. With fellow WR Josh Downs (groin/toe) and top RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) also cleared for Week 8 action, the Colts offense is as healthy as it's been for some time as QB Anthony Richardson makes his second straight start after having missed time with an oblique injury. Through seven games to date, Pittman has compiled a 28/336/2 receiving line on 47 targets, a rate of production down from last season's pace, but still enough to merit fantasy lineup consideration.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Not practicing Friday Pittman (back) wasn't participating in Friday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact After missing Wednesday's practice, Pittman worked fully Thursday. However, Atkins suggests that the wideout's apparent non-participation Friday could be rest-related, rather than indicative of a setback with the back issue he's been working through. Either way, the Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal whether Pittman carries an injury designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Chris Lammons - Appears past injuries Lammons (knee/ankle) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Impact Lammons was unable to play during the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins due to knee and ankle injuries. He was listed as a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Lammons should be able to return from a one-game absence and play in Sunday's AFC South clash against the Texans.
