Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich ruled out rookie safety Khari Willis on Monday ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Willis is currently in the league’s concussion protocol and with the Colts having to turn around on a short week to visit the Texans at NRG Stadium, the rookie safety has been ruled out.
Frank Reich confirms fractured hand for Marlon Mack. He had a procedure today.

Replacing Willis is likely going to be a combination of Rolan Milligan and Clayton Geathers. Fellow safety George Odum was seen in a sling following Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, and it isn’t clear if he will be ready to go.
Reich also confirmed that running back Marlon Mack, who underwent a procedure to fix a fractured hand, has been ruled out for the Thursday night game.
