The Indianapolis Colts (1-2-1) and Denver Broncos (2-2) released their final injury reports Wednesday ahead of the Week 5 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High.
While the Colts conducted walkthroughs all week to ease recovery on the short week, the statuses on the injury reports are estimations of what a player would have had on a typical practice day. The Colts ruled out four total players, three of which are starters and the other being a high-end rotational piece.
Here’s the final report for the Colts in Week 5:
*DNP = Did Not Participate — LP = Limited Participant — FP = Full Participant*
| Player | Injury | Mon. (10/3) | Tue. (10/4) | Wed. (10/5) | Status |
| S Julian Blackmon | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| LB Shaquille Leonard | Concussion/Nose/Back | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| DE Tyquan Lewis | Concussion | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| RB Jonathan Taylor | Ankle | DNP | DNP | DNP | Out |
| C Ryan Kelly | Knee | LP | FP | FP | — |
| DT DeForest Buckner | Elbow | FP | FP | FP | — |
Notes
- No new names popped up on the injury report.
- There aren’t any surprises on the players that were ruled out.
- C Ryan Kelly and DT DeForest Buckner would have logged full practices so they should be good to go in terms of full snap counts despite the short week.
- S Trevor Denbow (ankle) is eligible to be removed from the injured reserve list this week and any week after. He is not forced to come off the list.
