Strong performance in return Pittman (quadriceps) secured eight of nine targets for 72 yards in the Colts' 20-17 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact Pittman put together team-leading totals in receptions, receiving yards and targets in a successful return from a one-game absence. The second-year wideout has unsurprisingly been heavily involved in the two games he's played thus far, furnishing a 17-193-1 line on 22 targets in that sample. He'll project for another hefty workload when the Colts tangle with the Titans in a Week 4 home matchup against the division-rival Titans.

Ready to return Sunday Coach Frank Reich said Friday that Pittman (quadriceps) is "ready to go" ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Pittman was unable to play Week 2 due to a quadriceps injury, but after managing limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday this week, he's been cleared to return to action. He'll thus serve as the Colts' top receiving option for quarterback Matt Ryan on Sunday, looking to build on a 9-121-1 line on 13 targets from the season opener.

Still limited Pittman (quadriceps) remained limited at practice Thursday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Both Pittman and Alec Pierce (concussion/full practice) missed this past Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Jaguars, but the duo could be available this weekend against the Chiefs. While Pittman declined to comment on his quad injury Thursday, back-to-back limited sessions on his part are encouraging. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Indy's top wideout approaches Week 3 action with an injury designation or fully cleared to return.

Colts get WRs Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce back on practice field Indianapolis also got DeForest Buckner back on the practice field after the big defensive tackle missed practice all of last week.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • INDYSTAR.COM

Returns to practice Pittman (quadriceps) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Impact The wideout reportedly looked good during the open portion of practice, with Zak Keefer of The Athletic noting that Pittman is on track to return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The Colts played without both Pittman and Alec Pierce (concussion) in a 24-0 loss to the Jaguars in Week 2, but quarterback Matt Ryan could have his full complement of pass catchers available for the Week 3 matchup with Kansas City.

Will practice Wednesday Pittman (quadriceps) is scheduled to practice Wednesday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pittman's return to practice is a notable step in the right direction, even if he only ends up handling limited reps. The wideout's status is crucial for Indianapolis' matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, as Matt Ryan and the Colts offense were unable to score a single point without Pittman versus Jacksonville in Week 2. Head coach Frank Reich previously expressed optimism that Pittman's quad injury might only result in one absence.

Impact Initially listed as questionable heading into the Colts' eventual 24-0 loss to the Jaguars this past Sunday, Pittman was downgraded to out a day in advance of the contest. Reich expressed optimism that Pittman's absence was a "one-game thing," but the wideout's status for the upcoming week won't be known for certain until the Colts get a chance to assess his condition in practice. The Colts will return to the field Wednesday for their first Week 3 session.

Out against Jacksonville Pittman (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pittman's quad issue occurred during Wednesday's practice and is apparently severe enough to keep him out a week. With Pittman and Alec Pierce (concussion) out, Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan will get increased snaps with Parris Campbell the lone starter from last week.

Questionable for Week 2 Pittman (quad) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Impact The report notes that Pittman's quad issue occurred during Wednesday's practice and now the Colts' top wideout will approach Sunday's contest with a questionable designation. Fortunately for those considering Pittman (who racked up nine catches on 13 targets in the team's season opener) in Week 2 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 1:00 ET on Sunday. Meanwhile, fellow WR Alec Pierce (concussion) has been ruled out for the contest, which figures to lead to added snaps for Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan behind Pittman (if active) and Parris Campbell.
