Colts vs. Saints: Final injury report for Week 8

Here’s a look at the final injury report for the Colts and Saints in Week 8.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-4) and New Orleans Saints (3-4) released their final injury reports Friday ahead of the Week 8 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Here’s a look at the final injury report for the Colts in Week 8:

*DNP = Did Not Participate — LP = Limited Participant — FP = Full Participant*

Colts Injury Report
Player Injury Wed. 10/25 Thu. 10/26 Fri. 10/27 Status
CB JuJu Brents Quad DNP DNP DNP Out
TE Kylen Granson Concussion DNP DNP LP Out
DT Eric Johnson Ankle DNP DNP FP Questionable
RB Zack Moss Elbow/Heel DNP LP DNP Questionable
T Braden Smith Hip/Wrist DNP DNP DNP Out
CB Tony Brown Ribs DNP Questionable
DT DeForest Buckner Rest DNP
C Ryan Kelly Rest DNP

Notes

  • It’s no surprise regarding the three players who were ruled out. TE Kylen Granson appears to be progressing so look for his status next week.
  • RT Braden Smith hasn’t practiced since injuring his hip during the Thursday practice in Week 6. He will miss his third consecutive game.
  • DT Eric Johnson II has been trending in the right direction all week and his full participation status Friday is encouraging for his chances to play.
  • The fact that RB Zack Moss was downgraded Friday after being a limited participant the day before may suggest he didn’t respond well to practicing. He’s likely a game-time decision.
  • CB Tony Brown was a new addition to the report Friday so there’s a chance the Colts are without two cornerbacks.

Colts rule out 3 players vs. Saints in Week 8

Three Colts have been ruled out for Week 8.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out three players Friday ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Those three players include cornerback Julius Brents (quad), right tackle Braden Smith (hip/wrist) and tight end Kylen Granson (concussion).

Brents was not expected to play this week after suffering a quad injury during the Week 8 loss against the Cleveland Browns. In his place, fellow rookie Jaylon Jones will likely get the start while Darrell Baker Jr. also should see an uptick in snaps.

It also wouldn’t be a surprise if Ameer Speed made his Colts debut after he was claimed off waivers last week.

Smith will miss his third consecutive game due to a hip injury he suffered during the Thursday practice before the Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He hasn’t practiced since the injury. It will be rookie Blake Freeland making his third consecutive start right right tackle and his fifth consecutive start overall.

Granson will miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion, but he was seen wearing the red non-contact jersey at Friday’s practice, which suggests he’s making progress through the concussion protocol.

The Colts will release the full injury report with designations later Friday afternoon.

Studs and duds from Colts’ 37-20 loss to Jaguars

Checking out the studs and duds from the Colts’ 37-20 loss to the Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-3) lost their second game against the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) on Sunday down at TIAA Bank Field by a 37-20 score.

Despite leading after their first drive, Indianapolis could never find a consistent rhythm and put forth their worst performance of the season.

And after showing some brief life in the fourth quarter, Indianapolis looked lost and not ready to play for the division lead.

Here are the studs and duds from the Colts’ loss in Week 6:

5 takeaways from Colts’ 37-20 loss to Jaguars

Here are five takeaways from the Colts’ 37-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Death, taxes, and the Indianapolis Colts losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Duval County.

This marks the ninth straight loss for the Colts in Jacksonville and it is the first time that the Jags swept the season series since 2017. The offense started the game off on a good note with a field goal drive to start the game but it was all downhill after that. Gardner Minshew had his worst performance as a Colt.

He was shaky all afternoon. Minshew was responsible for the four turnovers by the Colts and could have had some more if the Jaguars defenders didn’t drop interception opportunities. The Indy defense had a slow start but started to play better as the game went on but got no help from the offense until it was too late.

There are not many positives to take from Indianapolis in this dreadful loss but here are five takeaways from the matchup:
