Colts Injury Report: Andrew Luck and Ryan Kelly Return
By Andrew Ites
The headline of the Colts’ injury report on Wednesday was Andrew Luck’s return to practice, but there was more encouraging news as well.
Andrew Luck‘s first practice of the season deserved its own article, and we covered that from every angle here.
However, there were a couple of other important takeaways from Wednesday’s injury report.
The Colts are continuing to get healthier and healthier each week, and that was proven again today.
Center Ryan Kelly was a full participant on Wednesday as he continues his progress towards making his season debut on Sunday. His return is critical for the Colts as they lost their backup center Deyshawn Bond to a season-ending quad injury in their last game.
Rookie running back Marlon Mack has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, but it looks like he’ll be available for this week’s game against the 49ers as he got a full practice session in on Wednesday.

Fellow rookie Quincy Wilson has also missed the last two weeks with an injury, but he was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury. He didn’t practice at all last week, and his return to practice is an encouraging sign for his Week 5 status.
Tight end Jack Doyle is currently in the league’s concussion protocol, and participated in a limited fashion in Wednesday’s practice. Doyle will have to pass a bevy of tests for him to be on the active roster for Sunday’s game.
Wide receiver Chester Rogers continues to be unable to practice as he struggles with a hamstring injury that has hampered him since the preseason.
