The Indianapolis Colts have placed defensive end Denico Autry on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Friday.
Autry popped up on the injury report on Thursday that was listed as an illness. It isn’t clear if Autry tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was in close contact with someone that did.
Because Autry is on the reserve list, he won’t be available to play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Colts also had defensive tackle Grover Stewart and defensive ends Tyquan Lewis and Al-Quadin Muhammad on the injury report listed non-injury related reasons. But head coach Frank Reich said they are good to go.
In addition to Autry, special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone will also miss the game due to COVID-related issues.
