Mike Strachan - Could see larger role Strachan could see an increased role Sunday against the Rams with Parris Campbell (abdomen) inactive for the contest, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

Impact WIth T.Y. Hilton (neck) also joining Campbell on the sideline, Strachan should move into the No. 3 receiver role. However, DeMichael Harris, just called up from the practice squad, could also be a factor. The Colts may utilize their tight ends in the passing game more frequently as well.

Parris Campbell - Inactive against Rams Campbell (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Impact Though an earlier report suggested the Colts were confident Campbell would play this weekend after he was a limited participant in Friday's practice, the wideout must have not felt right in pregame warmups. Rookie Mike Strachan will likely have a larger role in the passing game with Campbell out.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Cleared for Week 2 Pittman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Pittman was a late addition to the Colts' injury report after hurting his ankle in practice Friday, but the issue won't be significant enough to keep him off the field Sunday. The second-year wideout was on the field for all but two snaps in the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Seahawks, but he didn't see much volume in the passing game with three receptions for 29 yards on four targets.

Impact Schefter adds that the team wants to test Campbell in pre-game warmups before making a final decision on his status. If active Week 2, Campbell would likely join Michael Pittman (ankle) and Zach Pascal as a fixture in three-receiver sets.

Impact Schefter adds that the team wants to test Pittman in pre-game warmups before making a final decision on his status. Pittman, who was added to the injury report Friday after being a limited participant in practice, will likely operate as Indianapolis' top option on the outside Week 2 with T.Y. Hilton (neck) on injured reserve.

Eric Fisher - Expected to start Sunday Fisher (Achilles), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to start at left tackle in his Colts debut, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Fisher has recovered from an Achilles tear in less than eight months, and the two-time Pro Bowler looks like he'll avoid the Colts' Week 2 inactive list, which will be released at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • THERAMS.COM

Danny Pinter - Absent from injury report Pinter (foot) is not listed on the Colts' injury report ahead of Sunday's tilt versus the Rams.

Impact Pinter was inactive in Week 1 due to a foot injury. He logged full workloads at practice all week and apparently avoided any setbacks, so look for him to take on his usual role of providing depth on the offensive line.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kemoko Turay - Good to go Turay (groin) is not on the Colts' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Turay was a limited participant at practice all week, but it looks like the Colts were just erring on the side of caution. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at defensive end assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Julian Blackmon - Added to injury report Blackmon has been added to the Colts' injury report as questionable due to a back injury ahead of their Week 2 matchup with the Rams.

Impact Blackmon popped up on the injury report after being a non-participant at Friday's practice. It is unclear when he actually sustained the injury. If he is ultimately unable to suit up Sunday, look for Andrew Sendejo to fill in for him at free safety.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Darius Leonard - Good to go Leonard (ankle/illness) is absent from the Colts' injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Impact Leonard was absent from practice most of the week due to a non-COVID 19 illness but returned in limited fashion Friday. His absence from the injury report indicates the team was erring on the side of caution earlier in the week. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.
