Colts 'cautiously optimistic' T.Y. Hilton will be back in lineup against Texans
INDIANAPOLIS — T.Y. Hilton still has a chance to be in the Colts lineup Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Hilton, who underwent surgery to repair a disc that was blocking a nerve in his neck, has missed the first five games of the season, and he was only designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week.
A player who is designated to return from injured reserve can practice for 21 days before being added to the active roster, and Indianapolis sometimes uses that window to give a player a ramp-up period before they go back into a game.
Hilton has been running and working out for a while, and the Colts are willing to consider the possibility that he can return to the lineup cold.
