Battling ankle injury Pascal (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact This is a new injury for Pascal, so it will be worth monitoring his practice participation as the week goes on. Pascal just edged out Michael Pittman for third in snaps among the Colts' receivers in Week 1, so Pittman could see his role grow if Pascal is out or limited on game day against Minnesota.

Gets start at third receiver Pascal had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss at Jacksonville. He played on 46 of the team's 74 snaps on offense.
Impact Pascal played the third most snaps among receivers and got the start when the offense began with a three-receiver set. However, he played just seven more snaps than Michael Pittman (39 snaps) and was tied for sixth in targets in the offense. Pascal looks set to work as the third or fourth receiver and as a veteran who can fill gaps elsewhere when needed.

Listed as No. 3 receiver Pascal is listed as the No. 3 receiver on the Colts' initial unofficial depth chart, opposite starters T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell.
Impact The depth chart may be giving deference to Pascal as a veteran as 2020 second-round draft pick Michael Pittman is listed as the No. 4 receiver. Pittman was seen getting reps with the first-team offense in training camp and it's thought he'll have a significant role at the start of the regular season. Still, it's unclear how quickly the Colts will integrate Pittman into the offense, so Pascal could begin the season with a larger than expected role. If the receiving corps stays healthy (Hilton and Campbell had injury woes last season), then Pascal is seen eventually having a utility role and working in several spots in the passing game.

Back at practice Pascal (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact He's back in action, but with T.Y. Hilton poised to begin the season healthy, Parris Campbell in line to see an expanded role, and second-rounder Michael Pittman also in the mix, Pascal's path to reliable targets isn't clear. Of course, that could change in time if injuries hit and create a context in which Pascal's opportunities increase as the season rolls along, as was the case in 2019.

Misses scrimmage Pascal (hamstring) did not participate in Saturday's scrimmage, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Pascal took advantage of injuries in the Colts' receiving corps in 2019 and ended up pacing the team in receiving yards (607) while hauling in 41 of his 72 targets. With T.Y. Hilton healthy, Paris Campbell poised to see an expanded role, and second-rounder Michael Pittman also in the mix, Pascal may have a more limited role. It's not clear if his injury is serious, but he could be limited heading into the regular season.

Misses practice Pascal didn't practice Friday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports. He has a hamstring injury, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Nor did fellow wide receiver Parris Campbell (concussion). Pascal took advantage of injuries in the Colts' receiving corps in 2019 and ending up pacing the team in receiving yards (607) while hauling in 41 of his 72 targets. With T.Y. Hilton healthy, Campbell poised to see an expanded role when he returns, and second-rounder Michael Pittman also in the mix, volume could be an issue for Pascal. He's therefore off the radar in most re-draft formats in his present context.
