Stagnant offense forces Colts to make midseason changes
Coach Frank Reich can't explain itNOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
MATT RYAN
Still not practicing Ryan (shoulder) isn't in line to practice this week, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Impact Ryan is thus trending toward being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots following the Colts' final Week 9 practice Friday. With that in mind, Nick Foles would once again be in line to back up Sam Ehlinger, who has taken over as the Colts' starting quarterback.

Leonard to play limited role for Colts; Ryan is inactive

Officially out Week 8 Indianapolis formally ruled Ryan (shoulder) out for Sunday's game against Washington, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact Ryan was never expected to suit up for the Colts this weekend after head coach Frank Reich announced Monday that the veteran quarterback was dropped from the starting role to third on the depth chart in light of turning the ball over 10 times through Indianapolis' first seven games. Sam Ehlinger will take over as the Colts' new starter and is expected to hold down the job for the rest of the season, while Nick Foles steps in as the No. 2 option under center. Meanwhile, Ryan, who played through a Grade 2 right shoulder sprain in the Colts' Week 7 loss to the Titans, will likely be inactive on game days moving forward, as he's expected to remain the No. 3 quarterback even after he moves past the shoulder injury.
