— Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) January 1, 2023
- WR Ashton Dulin
- IOL Wesley French
- TE Kylen Granson
- DT Eric Johnson II
- LB Cameron McGrone
- CB Kenny Moore II
- QB Matt Ryan
A pair of starters in Granson and Moore both missed last week's game with ankle injuries after failing to practice at all and didn't practice this week either. Dulin also missed all week after taking a thunderous hit on Monday night that put him into the league's concussion protocol.
The Colts signed wide receiver Keke Coutee to the practice squad on Thursday, who can provide insurance for Dulin. As for Granson, it will put more work on the shoulders of rookie Jelani Woods, while Julian Blackmon should be expected to continue filling in for Moore.
The Colts placed starting defensive end Yannick Ngakoue on Injured Reserve after deciding he'd need a procedure done on his throat, which he injured in last week's game.
Xavier McKinney is ACTIVE for Giants vs. Colts.

The Giants are in better shape than the Colts in terms of injuries. Three starters were limited all week in Jackson, Azeez Ojulari, and Leonard Williams, however. Jackson has been out since Week 11 with his injury and remains sidelined. Ojulari has played in just 6-of-15 games — most recently due to a calf — but returned a few weeks ago.
Some big news for New York; they get starting safety Xavier McKinney back, who they activated off of Injured Reserve recently.
