Studs and duds from Colts’ 29-10 loss to Falcons

Studs and duds from the Colts’ loss to the Falcons.

The Indianapolis Colts (8-7) failed to take care of business on the road in a 29-10 loss against the Atlanta Falcons (7-8) on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It was a sloppy game all around for the Colts, who were dominated on both sides of the ball. Neither the offensive line nor the defensive line found ways to generate any consistent push, allowing the Falcons to control the line of scrimmage with ease.

This was a setback for a team that looked primed for a wild-card spot and while not all hope is lost in that endeavor, this defeat certainly muddies the outlook for the final two games.

Here’s a look at the studs and duds from the Week 16 loss:

Colts rule out two players vs. Panthers in Week 9

Two players were ruled out for Week 9.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out right tackle Braden Smith and cornerback Julius Brents ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Shane Steichen on Friday.

It’s no surprise that both of those players were ruled out considering they didn’t log a single practice. This will be Brents’ second consecutive missed game due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 7.

Meanwhile, Smith will miss his fourth consecutive game due to hip and wrist injuries.

As it pertains to linebacker Zaire Franklin, who is dealing with a knee injury, he is considered a game-time decision.

Smith’s expected replacement, rookie Blake Freeland, is also a game-time decision after suffering a back injury during practice this week. It isn’t clear who would start right tackle if both Smith and Freeland are out, but there’s a chance it would be Arlington Hambright.

Tight end Kylen Granson cleared the concussion protocol so he will be expected to play.

The Colts will release their final injury report with designations later Friday so that will give us a better idea of what the injury situation looks like.

Colts vs. Panthers: Initial injury report for Week 9

Here’s the Wednesday injury report for the Colts and Panthers.

The Indianapolis Colts (3-5) and Carolina Panthers (1-6) released their initial injury reports Wednesday ahead of the Week 9 matchup at Bank of America Stadium.

Here’s a look at the initial injury report for the Colts in Week 9:

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

Notes

  • CB Julius Brents is not expected to practice this week and is likely to miss his second consecutive game.
  • LB Zaire Franklin picked up a knee injury during the Week 8 loss. He exited briefly before returning and finishing the game. DE Dayo Odeyingbo is also a new addition to the injury report compared to last week.
  • RT Braden Smith still has not practiced since suffering a hip injury during Thursday’s practice in Week 6. His status is still up in the air for this week.
  • TE Kylen Granson appears ready to return after missing the last two games. The same goes for DT Eric Johnson II, who was inactive in Week 8.

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

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.

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

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.

  • RT Braden Smith will miss his second consecutive game after picking up a hip injury during practice in Week 6. Rookie Blake Freeland will make his fourth consecutive start and second consecutive start at right tackle.

Colts rule out two starters vs. Browns in Week 7

The Colts will be without two starters in Week 7.

The Indianapolis Colts ruled out right tackle Braden Smith and tight end Kylen Granson on Friday ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Neither Smith nor Granson were able to log a practice this week due to their injuries so the fact that they’re ruled out isn’t much of a surprise.

Smith didn’t practice at all this week after suffering a hip injury during practice last week. This will be the second consecutive game Smith will be inactive for, meaning rookie Blake Freeland will once again get the spot start.

Meanwhile, Granson entered the concussion protocol this week after developing symptoms following the Week 6 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With Granson out, the Colts will lean on Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox while rookie Will Mallory should be active working in the flex tight end role.
