Colts and Jets square off in a matchup of struggling teams with rapidly fading playoff hopes

The Indianapolis Colts have lost three straight and fallen one game behind Denver in the chase for the seventh and final AFC playoff spot

Confident in return this season Kelly underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and expects to play again in 2024, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Impact Kelly was sent to the Colts' injured reserve list ahead of Week 10, so he'll be required to sit out until at least Week 15 at Denver. Whether Indianapolis feels there's any urgency to rush him back at that point could depend on its position in the AFC playoff picture, or lack thereof.

Lands on IR with calf injury The Colts placed Kelly (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Kelly presumably sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Vikings. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but by being placed on IR, Kelly will be forced to miss the Colts' next four regular-season games. The earliest he can return will be Week 15 against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 15. In Kelly's absence, rookie fourth-round pick Tanor Bortolini will take over as the Colts' starting center.

Good to go for Sunday Kelly (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Dolphins and is expected to play.
