The Indianapolis Colts released their injury report for Friday, and it looked nearly identical to Thursday except that safety Mike Adams (hamstring) was a full participant today.

Joining him was fellow safety Clayton Geathers (knee), who was a full participant Friday after missing last weekend’s game as well against the New Orleans Saints.

The bad news is that starting center Khaled Holmes (neck) missed another practice Friday and hasn’t practice all week, which appears that he’ll likely be unavailable for Monday night’s game. Pagano said that his starting center was “day-to-day” though Friday, so there remains a remote chance he could lace them up against the Carolina Panthers.

In his absence, 2nd-year center Jonotthan Harrison will receive the start, with any of Jack Mewhort, Todd Herremans, or Joe Reitz as his possible backup. Harrison made 10 starts for the Colts last season before being benched for Holmes after Week 15. While he showed glimpses of run blocking dominance, Harrison was also marred by inconsistency and mental mistakes.

Otherwise, fellow backups in safety Winston Guy (shoulder) and Nate Irving (knee) did not practice, and it looks as though both will be inactive for Monday night’s game.

Additionally, wideout Phillip Dorsett was also listed as not participating, which is a given with a fractured fibula that has a recovery time of 4-6 weeks. However, Pagano said Friday regarding Dorsett, “his procedure was successful” and that “he’s doing well”.
