The Indianapolis Colts posted their second injury report of the week ahead of a crucial showdown against the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.

Thursday's report included one name not seen on Wednesday's list, as defensive lineman Grover Stewart was a limited participant due to rest. Aside from Stewart, six players are working through injuries.

Colts' Injury Report

Goodson, who shares the RB2 role with rookie DJ Giddens, did not play in last weekend's win against the Miami Dolphins. Per James Boyd, he wants to see how his elbow holds up through contact in practices throughout the week.

Jones, who started all 17 games at outside cornerback for the Colts last year, injured his hamstring while in punt coverage. Jones re-aggravated an injury he dealt with throughout training camp. The play he was injured on was later called back due to a penalty.

Latu snagged his first career interception against the Dolphins, but wasn't able to come out with a clean bill of health. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and his game-time status remains unclear after being downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday.

Pierce and Pittman were both full participants in Wednesday's practice, so it seems they're trending towards playing against Denver. Pierce made one highlight grab for 36 yards against Miami on what may have been Daniel Jones' best throw of the day. Pittman had a standout performance as well, hauling in six catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Stewart, who's in his ninth season, understandably took a half day.

To round out the list is Ward, who entered concussion protocol on Monday after showing symptoms. Not participating in a Thursday practice due to a concussion is usually a bad sign for playing on Sunday. Indianapolis may be without their former All-Pro corner in just the second week of the season.

As for the Broncos, they had two players return as full participants in Thursday's practice.

Broncos' Injury Report

  • TE Evan Engram (Calf) - FULL
  • DL John Franklin-Myers (Knee) - FULL
  • ILB Alex Singleton (Thumb) - FULL
  • TE Nate Adkins (Ankle) - LP
  • LB Dre Greenlaw (Quad) - DNP

Engram, the starting tight end for Denver, left the field after 26 snaps in the team's win against the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. While he was on the gridiron, he hauled in three of four targets for 21 yards.

Franklin-Myers did not participate in Wednesday's practice, so it's good news for the Broncos to see him back as a full participant on Thursday.

Singleton was a full participant on Wednesday and appears to be on track to play in Indianapolis.

For Adkins, it was his first practice of the regular season after missing last week with the same ankle issue. Greenlaw, on the other hand, has not practiced or played at all through 1.5 weeks.

Colts vs. Broncos will kickoff at 4:05 p.m. late Sunday afternoon.
