The Detroit Lions Week 8 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, have released their injury designations and while they will return a Pro Bowl defensive starter, another Pro Bowler on offense is listed as questionable.
Here’s a look at the Colts’ full injury designations list.
Ruled OUT
Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
NONE | OUT |
Coming out of their bye week, the Colts were able to get several injured players healthy and
Questionable
Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
Ryan Kelly | Center (starter) | Knee | Questionable |
Moe Alie-Cox | TE (starter) | Knee | Questionable |
Kelly suffered a knee injury in Wednesday’s practice and was unable to practice the rest of the week. It would be a big blow to lose their Pro Bowl center, as they would have to turn to rookie Danny Pinter — a fifth-round selection — to replace him. Pinter has played just 21 snaps on offense this season.
Alie-Cox, the Colts highest-graded offensive player per PFF, injured his knee in Week 5 and was unable to play in Week 6. With a bye week and limited practices on Thursday and Friday, he’ll get another checkup on Saturday to see if he can play on Sunday.
No injury designation
Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
Darius Leonard | LB (starter) | Groin | No injury designation |
Chaz Green | OT | Back | No injury designation |
Leonard is the Colts defensive leader and one of the best linebackers in the NFL. His return gives an already strong Colts defense more strength up the middle.
