Josh Downs - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Three catches in loss to Denver Downs (shoulder) caught three of eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Downs has just 59 receiving yards over his last two appearances, sandwiched around a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He had at least 60 yards in seven of his last eight games prior to this downturn, though much of that stretch came with Joe Flacco under center rather than the erratic Anthony Richardson, who threw for only 172 yards in the loss to Denver. Downs will look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Titans.

Active versus Denver Downs (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Downs missed the Colts' win over the Patriots in Week 13, but following the team's subsequent bye he was able to practice fully Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable to face Denver. With his Week 15 active status confirmed, Downs should reclaim his key role in a wideout corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, with Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould available to mix in. In 10 games thus far, Downs has compiled a 53/594/4 receiving line on 78 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar for the NFL stretch run.

In line to suit up Week 15 Downs, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Denver due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Downs missed Indianapolis' win over New England in Week 13 due to a shoulder issue, but the Colts' Week 14 bye provided him extra time to recover. After ending this week with a pair of full practice sessions, it appears he'll be able to return to action against the Broncos in a critical contest for Indy's playoff chances. Downs' probable presence would be a big boost to the Colts, as he typically serves as both the team's No. 2 wideout and top punt returner.

Practices fully, listed as questionable Downs (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after practicing fully Thursday and Friday.

Impact Downs missed the Colts' win over the Patriots in Week 13, and following the team's bye he has a chance to contain his absence to one game. Though back-to back full practices bode well for his availability, James Boyd of The Athletic relays that head coach Shane Steichen -- who noted that Downs was "looking good" in practice this week -- fell short of declaring the wideout a go for Sunday's contest, saying "we'll see" on that topic. For his part, Downs said that his status for Indianapolis' 4:25 ET kickoff is a "coaches' decision. It's based on what they say. But yeah, I feel good."

Turns in full practice Downs (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Downs missed the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots in Week 13 due to the right shoulder injury, but he seems to have benefited from a well-timed bye in Week 14. Though he was eased back into practice Wednesday in a limited fashion, Downs' ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to play Sunday in Denver. Before missing the win over the Patriots, Downs saw his numbers take a bit of a hit in the previous two contests while Anthony Richardson took back the starting quarterback role from Joe Flacco. In those two games, Downs produced an 8-111-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

Returns to limited practice Downs (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Following the Colts' Week 14 bye, Downs -- who didn't practice leading up to Week 13 action -- is trending in the right direction after having missed the team's win over the Patriots on Dec. 1. The wideout has two more opportunities to upgrade to full practice participation, and if he can get to that point he could approach Sunday's game against the Broncos minus an injury designation.

In line to practice Downs (shoulder) is slated to practice Wednesday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Downs, who suffered a right shoulder injury during Week 12 action, missed a Week 13 win over the Patriots, but following the Colts' bye week the wideout has progressed to the point that he'll work in some capacity Wednesday. The team's upcoming injury report will provide added context regarding Downs' status for Sunday's game against the Broncos by revealing his participation level in practice.

Impact Downs suffered a right shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of a Week 12 loss to Detroit and missed practice last week and the win at New England. While he has the bye week to recover, it's not reassuring that Steichen wasn't immediately optimistic about Downs' potential return.

Won't play Sunday Head coach Shane Steichen has ruled out Downs (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact With Downs and Ashton Dulin (ankle) both out, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell are in line to lead the Colts' Week 13 wideout corps. With the team on bye in Week 14, Downs' next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 15 against the Broncos.

Missing Thursday's practice Downs (shoulder) didn't participate in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact On Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen noted that it will be "tough" for Downs to play Sunday against the Patriots, and the wideout's absence from practice Thursday supports that notion. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Downs heads into the weekend with any chance to be available versus New England, a context that also applies to fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (foot) and Ashton Dulin (ankle), who were both sidelined Thursday.

Estimated as non-practice participant Downs (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Impact Earlier Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged that it will be "tough" for Downs to play Sunday against the Patriots, but at this stage the Colts aren't ruling him out for the contest, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. If Downs is inactive this weekend, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce (foot) -- if available -- and Adonai Mitchell would be in line to lead the Colts' Week 13 wideout corps.

NOVEMBER 25 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Week-to-week with shoulder injury Downs is considered week-to-week after suffering a right shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact While the Colts haven't yet provided an official update on Downs' status, Rapoport relays that the wideout is considered a "longshot" to play Week 13 against the Patriots. Downs appeared to be in significant pain after his right shoulder was driven into the turf by a defender following his third reception of Sunday's game with 11:22 remaining in the fourth quarter, but he was able to check back into the contest for the Colts' final possession. Despite being able to return, Downs' shoulder injury was evidently more serious than expected after he underwent further evaluation following the game. Assuming Downs ends up sitting out against New England, Adonai Mitchell would likely be the top candidate to move into a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Held to three catches in Week 12 loss Downs (shoulder) finished with three receptions for 27 yards on seven targets while playing 29 of the Colts' 55 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

Impact Downs recorded a pair of catches on the Colts' first four plays of the game, but he was mostly held quiet for the rest of the day. He didn't notch his third and final reception until the 11:22 mark in the fourth quarter, when he also hurt his right shoulder on the play in question. Downs returned to the contest for the Colts' final possession, so he looks to have avoided a serious injury. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if Downs appeared on the Colts' Week 13 injury report prior to a matchup with the Patriots next Sunday.

Injures shoulder Sunday Downs exited Sunday's game against the Lions with a shoulder injury.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Downs caught three of his six targets for 27 yards. In his absence, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierceand Adonai Mitchell are available to handle the Colts' wideout duties versus Detroit.
