Even though we are at the start of the week and have plenty of time to recover, the left tackle Bernhard RaimannThe inclusion of (concussion) stands out the most. Since the Vikings are a blitz-heavy defense and have three players with 5 sacks (Andrew Van Ginkel, Jonathan Greenard and Pat Jones II), the Colts need as many starters available on the offensive line as possible. If Raimann doesn’t pass concussion protocol, expect Blake Freeland or beginner Matt Gonçalves.
Center Ryan Kelly (calf, knee) suffered injuries similar to tackle Brad Smith (knee) throughout the 2024 season. Wide receivers Josh Downs (toe) and Michael Pittman Jr. (returning) has also dealt with some nagging injuries and will appear to be as close to 100% as possible for the Vikings.
Healthy players are defensive ends Genard Avery and (now) backup quarterback Anthony Richardson. After being benched in favor of a 17-year veteran Joe Flacco According to head coach Shane Steichen, Richardson will be ready to take the reins of the offense if necessary.
The Colts (4-4) face an angry Vikings (5-2) team that will be ready to fight for a home win in prime time Sunday. After plenty of quarterback drama followed Steichen and Indianapolis following Richardson’s benching, the Colts need a big win or risk the start of a possible trap.
