Colts vs. Jaguars Week 2 injury report
By Dailey Gee
As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for their Week 2 game on Sunday, something to keep an eye on is the injury report for both teams.
The Indianapolis Colts are entering Week 2 of the NFL season still seeking their first win. In order to get that win, they will have to conquer the Jaguars in Jacksonville, something Indianapolis hasn’t done since 2014. Something that could help the Colts is a healthy squad, so let’s take a look at both teams’ current injury reports as the game approaches.
Jacksonville Jaguars injury report
On Thursday’s injury report, the Jacksonville Jaguars had no injuries to report. They seem to have a pretty clean bill of health as a team after one week of games. Indy is going to be getting the Jaguars at full strength on Sunday, barring any freak injuries in practice leading up to the game. Jacksonville definitely has the advantage of health heading into this AFC South showdown.
Indianapolis Colts injury report
Thursday’s injury report was not as clean for Indianapolis. Defensive tackle Deforest Buckner (Hip) missed practice for the second day in a row and rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce (Concussion) had a limited practice after missing practice on Wednesday. Cornerback Kenny Moore II (Hip) and wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (Quad) both sat out of practice after being limited on Wednesday.
The one thing that I would like to report is that linebacker Shaquille Leonard (Back) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday and Thursday as he has been recovering from back surgery.
I feel like most of these guys will still play Sunday. Shaquille Leonard will probably be a game-time decision. We all know the type of competitor that the Maniac is and how bad he wants to be out on the field. Time will tell.
What does that mean for the matchup?
Well, obviously you want to have the healthiest team going into any game. The Jaguars have that heading into Sunday as of now. The Colts have always taken it easy at practice with their veteran guys when they have any type of injury. I would not be alarmed by this list. But, if those guys are not able to give it a go, it’s the next man up. Everyone has to be ready.
