The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) will be releasing their injury report later on Saturday, but only one player was ruled out ahead of the Week 15 matchup with the New Orleans Saints (10-3).
That player is cornerback Kenny Moore. It doesn’t come as any surprise given that Moore didn’t practice once this week even with an extra day of rest.
Frank Reich rules OUT:
-Kenny Moore (ankle)
T.Y. Hilton (calf) will be a game-time decision. He didn’t practice Friday.

Moore has been dealing with this ankle injury since the Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. It forced him to miss last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—his absence had a hand in the Colts allowing 456 passing yards to the Bucs offense.
Moore has been one of the best players on the Colts defense this season, which was to be expected. His impact both in coverage and as a blitzer from the slot has made a huge difference for the Colts.
It will be interesting to see the statuses of cornerback Pierre Desir and wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, both of which are likely questionable this weekend.
