The Indianapolis Colts dealt with notable injuries to Carson Wentz and Quenton Nelson in training camp and it doesn’t seem as though those woes have improved in recent weeks. If this week’s injury report turned out to be any indication of Sunday’s game against the LA Rams, other than Wentz’s clean bill of health, things are worse.
The Colts were without four key starters in Wednesday’s practice because of injury, then they added three more to the Did Not Participate list on Thursday:
WEDNESDAY
- Did Not Participate — LB Darius Leonard (ankle), G Quenton Nelson (foot/back), CB Xavier Rhodes (calf), OT Braden Smith (foot)
- Limited Participant — OT Eric Fisher (Achilles), DE Al-Quadin Muhammad (ankle), DE Kwity Paye (hamstring), DE Kemoko Turay (groin)
THURSDAY
- Did Not Participate — TE Jack Doyle (rest), LB Darius Leonard (ankle), G Quenton Nelson (foot/back), DE Kwity Paye (hamstring), CB Xavier Rhodes (calf), OT Braden Smith (foot), S Khari Willis (illness)
- Limited Participant — OT Eric Fisher (Achilles), WR Mike Strachan (ankle), DE Kemoko Turay (groin)
- Full Participant — DE Al-Quadin Muhammad (ankle)
All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson suffered a foot injury in August and he returned to start in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, but is listed on the report this week with a DNP for foot and back issues.
