Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith fought through a lot of pain to play against the Houston Texans and while he was able to start the game, he was ruled out near the end of the third quarter.
Smith has been dealing with a knee injury and was questionable on the injury report going into the weekend. He seems to have given it his best shot despite the immense pain, but the veteran right tackle wasn’t able to finish the game.
