The Indianapolis Colts (3-1) released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns (3-1).
Entering the week, it was expected that the Colts would be dealing with injuries to several key players. There’s the chance they may be without their starting left tackle and two of their starting linebackers.
Here’s a look at the Colts’ injury report from Wednesday’s practice:
*DNP = Did Not Participate | LP = Limited Participant | FP = Full Participant*
Name | Position | Injury | Wed. (10/7) |
Trey Burton | TE | Rest | DNP |
Anthony Castonzo | LT | Rib | DNP |
Darius Leonard | LB | Groin | DNP |
Bobby Okereke | LB | Thumb | DNP |
T.J. Carrie | CB | Hamstring | LP |
E.J. Speed | LB | Elbow | LP |
It isn’t a good start to the week for the Colts. Castonzo, Leonard and Okereke are all in danger of missing Sunday’s game. With how the Browns have been playing on both sides of the ball, this will be a major storyline entering the week.
It seems Carrie is projecting well from the hamstring injury that kept him out of the Week 4 game against the Bears. Speed suffered an elbow injury during the Bears game but has a better chance to play this week after practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday.
The Colts have two more practices before the injury designations come out on Friday, and it will be crucial for the starters to get some type of practice in before then.
