The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans have released their final injury reports for their Week 1 game at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Both teams have relatively short injury lists, with only three players between them having injury designations for the season opener.
The Colts are dealing with a few key injuries. They’ll definitely be missing one starter, and another player’s status is still up in the air. On the other hand, the Texans are mostly healthy, with just one player ruled out.
If there are any updates to these injury reports on Saturday, we’ll update this information. For now, here’s a look at the injury designations for the Week 1 matchup:
Colts vs. Texans Week 1 Injury Report
Colts:
- Ruled Out:
- WR Josh Downs (ankle): Downs won’t be playing because of a high ankle sprain he suffered during training camp. He hasn’t practiced at all this week, so his absence was expected. While he’s making progress, it’s unlikely he’ll be ready for the game.
- Questionable:
- K Matt Gay (hernia): Gay is listed as questionable after having surgery for a hernia. He hasn’t practiced this week, but the Colts haven’t completely ruled him out yet. There’s a chance he could be downgraded before the game. If he can’t play, the team will rely on undrafted rookie Spencer Shrader.
Texans:
- Ruled Out:
- S M.J. Stewart (knee): Stewart is the only Texan with an injury designation this week. He hasn’t practiced at all due to a knee injury and was expected to play a rotational role in defense as well as contribute to special teams.
Stay tuned for any updates or changes to these injury reports as game day approaches.
