The Indianapolis Colts placed left guard Quenton Nelson and left tackle Eric Fisher on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Thursday.
Nelson just returned from foot surgery and while he’s optimistic he will be ready for Week 1, it remains to be seen how this time off will impact his preparation to get ready for the regular-season opener. Replacing Nelson is likely going to be veteran guard Chris Reed.
Fisher has spent the entire offseason working to get back from Achilles surgery. He has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp, and it isn’t clear when he will be able to return now that he has to quarantine.
As it stands entering the preseason finale on Friday, Julién Davenport has been leading the competition for the starting left tackle spot while Fisher has been out.
The Colts also signed tight end Andrew Vollert, who was cut earlier in the week.
