The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for a challenging game against the Philadelphia Eagles but are also dealing with key injuries.
In Week 11, the Indianapolis Colts will be playing host to the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly is coming into the game with the league’s best record at 8-1. The Eagles were undefeated but they lost for the first time in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. They’ll be looking to bounce back as the Colts will be trying to keep the momentum rolling after picking up a Week 10 win against the Las Vegas Raiders.
This is the kind of game you want to enter at full strength with everyone healthy. Ideally, you’d want to play every game like that but especially against a team as talented as the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for the Colts, the team’s health hasn’t been the best in the week leading up to the game.

Colts injury report entering Week 11
Indianapolis only has two players dealing with something serious that has already been ruled out of the contest and that’s Kwity Paye and Jelani Woods. However, several key players have been held out of practice throughout the week, primarily some top defenders, and they’re questionable for the game. That’s big considering the defense has been Indy’s most consistent unit and has not only kept the Colts in games but won some as well.
In addition to Kwity Paye being out, Kenny Moore missed Wednesday and Thursday practices before returning on Friday, and Zaire Franklin and Isaiah Rodgers missed practice all week, as all three players were dealing with an illness. Grover Stewart also sat out Wednesday and Thursday, getting some much-needed rest but returned on Friday. This is like half of Indy’s starting defense and some very key contributors, so their availability is definitely crucial.
It doesn’t seem like they will miss the action, so fans shouldn’t worry about that, however, it’s fair to ask what effect missing multiple practices will have on them, especially going against a quality opponent like the Eagles.

Do Colts still have a real chance of making the playoffs?
With a new optimism surrounding the team, can the Indianapolis Colts still become title contenders this season after their slow start?
