Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts Inactives
Note that the full inactive list is released by teams 90 minutes before kickoff. This list will be updated at that time.
Josh Downs, WR
Josh Downs was listed as a full participant on Thursday and Friday with a calf injury after not being listed at all on Wednesday. While it’s usually concerning to see a midweek addition to an injury report, Downs was officially removed from Indy’s injury report entering Week 12 and will play on Sunday.
Tyquan Lewis, DE
Lewis (calf) is questionable to face Detroit on Sunday. Lewis landed on injured reserve Oct. 1 due to a calf injury. He was designated to return Wednesday and was able to practice in full all week. Indianapolis will need to activate Lewis before he’s able to suit up, and that could happen as soon as this weekend with the Colts set to face a talented Lions team.
Michael Pittman Jr., WR
Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is fully practicing this week. He hasn’t missed a practice since taking Week 10 off to recover. Barring a setback, Pittman will play against the Lions in Week 12.
Bernhard Raimann, OT
Raimann (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Lions. Raimann will miss a second straight game due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Bills.
He hasn’t been able to practice since the injury, and he’ll need to do so in order to return for Week 13 against the Patriots on Sunday, Dec. 1. With Rainmann sidelined, Matt Goncalves is expected to start at left tackle for a second straight week.
