The Indianapolis Colts are fighting to keep their season alive with three games remaining and even though the odds are very slim, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is doing all he can to get back on the field.
Battling a lingering calf injury for the majority of the second half, there is concern that Hilton won’t be able to return. The 30-year-old, though, isn’t quitting on this team and is fighting to return with just three games left.
T.Y. Hilton believes he'll play again this season at some point.

Hilton was adamant that he would never quit on the team even when the Colts are on the brink of officially being knocked out of the playoff race.
It has been a tough season for Hilton, to say the least. He’s dealt with a few injuries this season and has played in just seven games entering Week 15. His numbers are obviously down because of the limited playing time.
In those seven games, Hilton has recorded 35 receptions for 378 yards and five touchdowns with 10.8 yards per catch—which is a career-low.
The Colts could very well see their playoff hopes officially end on Monday night against the Saints, but Hilton is doing all he can to get back to his team.
