Indianapolis Colts Week 10 injury report has good news for fans

A short list is a good list.

It's no surprise to say that injuries have been a major problem for the Indianapolis Colts so far this season. They lost huge defensive stars like DeForest Buckner, Tyquan Lewis, Juju Brents, and Samson Ebukam, and for several weeks, running back Jonathan Taylor was out as well. Taylor and Buckner are both back on the field and thriving, but the injury curse has continued to plague the Colts.

Last week, left tackle Bernhard Raimann was out on concussion protocol, and he was quickly followed this week by center Ryan Kelly, who was placed on injured reserve. Raimann, thankfully, appears to be on his way back, but the offensive line will be missing Kelly and Will Fries, who is out for the season with a fractured tibia.

The Colts can't take many more injuries, especially with such a big game looming ahead of them against the Buffalo Bills, and thankfully, the injury report for Wednesday is very short. With luck, most of the Colts will remain healthy between now and Sunday, because they will need every weapon in their arsenal to defeat the Bills. There are some concerns - Zaire Franklin not practicing, for one - but hopefully, he'll be back before the week is over.

Here is the final injury report following Friday's practice. Michael Pittman, Jr. has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game; Buckner and Stewart did not practice today, but it was due to rest and not injury.
