The news cycle surrounding the Colts this week has revolved around one thing: their decision to bench Anthony Richardson in favor of veteran QB Joe Flacco. While this has seemingly put the locker room into turmoil, the Colts still have a formidable foe ahead of them, and during prime time television, too.

The Colts will play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football, and they're coming fresh off a divisional loss to the Houston Texans. Head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson was benched in favor of Flacco because it gives them a better chance of winning through the rest of the season, but even with Flacco, the Vikings will be a tough opponent to beat.

A healthy Colts team will be a huge advantage going into Week 9, and luckily, the injury report so far is not too lengthy. However, there are some offensive stars who didn't practice Wednesday. Will they be back later in the week, and able to play Sunday? Only time will tell.

Here is the Colts injury report for Week 9 following Friday's practice.
