INJURIES

Tanor Bortolini - Hurts toe in second preseason game Bortolini suffered a toe injury Saturday in the Colts' preseason win over Arizona, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Impact Bortolini didn't end up returning after the injury, but he said after the game that he doesn't think the issue will keep him out long, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star. The rookie fourth-round pick is expected to be a backup on the offensive line during his first NFL campaign.

Josh Sills - Ruled out Saturday Sills (ankle) won't return to Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Impact Sills hurt his ankle in the first quarter, and though he was later spotted running on the sidelines, he won't return to the exhibition game. The offensive guard is competing for a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster, so it could be critical for him to return to health in time for the team's final preseason contest Thursday versus Cincinnati.
AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE
Jelani Woods - Hurts toe in preseason game Woods suffered a toe injury in Saturday's exhibition contest against the Cardinals and has been ruled out from returning, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Woods started the contest at tight end for the Colts but didn't get much of an opportunity to play due to the injury. It's a tough break for the tight end, as he missed all of 2023 due to injuries to both hamstrings. He's been competing with Drew Ogletree and others for a depth role behind Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, but Woods' chance of making the 53-man roster would be harmed if the toe issue proves to be more than minor.
AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE
JuJu Brents - Exits game with nose injury Brents has been ruled out from returning to Saturday's exhibition contest against Arizona due to a nose injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Brents started and played most of the first quarter before getting hurt. The cornerback was ruled out early in the second period and finished the game with one assisted tackle. Brents missed Indianapolis' first preseason matchup due to a shoulder injury but returned to practice this week. If healthy, he's slated to start at left corner for the Colts in 2024.
AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Sills - Hurts ankle in preseason game Sills suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's exhibition contest against Arizona and has been deemed questionable to return, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Impact Sills was injured in the first period and isn't certain to return, though Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports that the offensive lineman was up and running on the sideline between quarters. Sills is competing for a spot on the 53-man roster as depth at the offensive guard position.
AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Sermon - Misses practice Sermon (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Impact Sermon left Indy's first preseason game Sunday with a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but it's not a good sign that he hasn't returned to practice this week.
AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Flacco - Not expected to play Saturday Flacco isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Flacco is expected to sit along with the rest of the Colts' starters. The 39-year-old did play last week against Denver, completing 3-of-5 passes for 28 yards on his lone series of work. Flacco has the Colts' QB2 job sewn up behind Anthony Richardson. Look for plenty of Sam Ehlinger this weekend for Indianapolis.
AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Pittman Jr. - Not slated to play Saturday Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Pittman won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game versus the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Along with Pittman, the rest of the Colts' starters and No. 2 signal-caller Joe Flacco won't be available for the team's second exhibition. Assuming Josh Downs (ankle) also doesn't play, Indy's available wide receivers figure to be rookie second-rounder Adonai Mitchell, Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin (hamstring, if available), among others. In four pro seasons to date, Pittman has two 1,000-yard tallies on his resume, and he's posted 14 receiving touchdowns in 49 regular-season contests the last three campaigns.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Fernea - Reverts to IR Fernea (undisclosed) went unclaimed Thursday after getting waived/injured by the Colts on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact The wide receiver now has to reach an injury settlement with the Colts to have a chance to play in 2024. Fernea appeared in three games and on two offensive snaps for Indianapolis in 2023 but did not catch a pass.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Taylor - Not in line to play Saturday Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Taylor won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact The same can be said for the rest of the Colts' starters and No. 2 quarterback Joe Flacco. With Taylor in street clothes, Trey Sermon (hamstring, if available), Tyler Goodson, Evan Hull, Zavier Scott and Demetric Felton will be the candidates to work out of Indianapolis' backfield. As for Taylor, he's coming off back-to-back injury-riddled campaigns in which he averaged 90.4 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 12 total touchdowns in 21 regular-season contests.

Former Eagles coordinators reunite as head coaches at Cardinals-Colts joint practices

Jonathan Gannon knew Shane Steichen was destined to be an NFL head coach almost from the moment they joined the Philadelphia Eagles staff in 2021
AUGUST 15 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Evan Hull - Working as No. 2 running back Hull took the majority of No. 2 running back snaps during Wednesday's practice with Trey Sermon (hamstring) sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Impact Hull has a chance to build some momentum at training camp after an impressive showing in Indianapolis' preseason opener, the same game in which Sermon departed early due to a hamstring injury. Thus far Sermon had worked as the clear No. 2 man behind Jonathan Taylor, but Wednesday's practice seems like an indication that Hull, one of the better pass-catchers in the Colts' backfield, could be favored for the No. 3 gig over Tyler Goodson.

Jaylon Carlies - Back at practice Carlies (hip) participated in Wednesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Carlies had been sidelined due to a hip injury since July 31, but he appears healthy and ready to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cardinals. The rookie fifth-round pick is working to transition to linebacker after having played safety during college.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
JuJu Brents - Resumed practicing Brents (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Brents spent time on the sideline recently to rest his shoulder, but he looks back to full health ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cardinals. The 2023 second-round pick seems likely to open the regular season as a starting cornerback for Indianapolis.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Greg Ward - Finds new home Ward signed a contract with the Colts on Wednesday.
Impact Ward has been a regular member of the Eagles' organization for the past five seasons, including as a member of the practice squad for the last two. The Houston product last suited up in 2021, where he appeared in 17 regular-season games, making seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Richardson - Not likely to face Arizona GM Chris Ballard noted that Wednesday that there's a good chance Richardson doesn't play Saturday against the Cardinals, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Impact Per the report, the Colts are trending toward using the same blueprint as last year with Richardson, which would set the stage for the QB to play about a half in the team's preseason finale against the Bengals on Aug. 22. Richardson logged seven snaps during this past Sunday's exhibition opener versus the Broncos.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Trent Pennix - Goes on IR Pennix (groin) reverted to the Colts' injured reserve Tuesday after going unclaimed off waivers, per the NFL transaction log.
Impact Pennix sustained a groin injury in Sunday's preseason bout against Denver. He was waived/injured by Indianapolis on Monday, but he was moved to IR the next day after not being claimed off waivers by another team. Pennix will now be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Colts.
