Key players miss practice for Colts on Thursday as they prepare for Browns

The Browns and Colts are set to lock horns in two days, but Indianapolis may be without both Kylen Granson and Braden Smith in this game.

The Cleveland Browns are looking to advance to 4-2 on the season this week against the Indianapolis Colts after upsetting the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers a week ago. While they are a bit banged up in this one, unsure if quarterback Deshaun Watson or left guard Joel Bitonio will play, the Colts are also hobbled. Already without their starting quarterback Anthony Richardson, the Colts may also be without starting right tackle Braden Smith and tight end Kylen Granson.

Neither of those players practiced on Thursday for the Colts as they look to advance to 4-3 on the season. If Smith cannot go, expect fourth round rookie offensive tackle Blake Freeland to start at right tackle for the Colts, a player who has struggled this season when on the field. The Colts have two other healthy tight ends in Andrew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox if Granson cannot suit up.

Here is the full injury report of the Colts as they get ready to host the Browns.
