Here’s a status of the Colts injuries from Thursday.
/
The Indianapolis Colts today released their Thursday injury report for Week 17 of the NFL season against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
CB Sauce Gardner was limited at practice today with a calf injury. This is the first time Gardener has managed to practice since injuring his calf injury a few weeks ago. It is an encouraging sign but his chances of playing this week still look slim.
Left tackle Bernhard Raimann was a full participant today despite being limited yesterday with an elbow injury. Raimann missed last week’s game due to the elbow injury so it is an encouraging sight to see him practicing fully. The Colts need to get him back to full health for the last two weeks of the regular season.
Guard Dalton Tucker managed a limited practice today after being unable to practice yesterday due to a shoulder injury. The Colts have undertaken a knock to the offensive line’s health recently so managing to get some depth pieces healthy will be a big boost. Hopefully, Tucker can continue recovering and will be available for Sunday.
Center Tanor Bortolini missed practice again today with a concussion. Bortolini is still in the concussion protocol and with a second missed practice today looks almost certain to be out this week. It will most likely be Danny Pinter starting at center on Sunday.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner missed practice today with a neck injury. Today marks a second missed practice for Buckner with a neck injury. It looks as though he may have re-aggravated his previous neck injury which landed him on injured reserve, or it could simply be another rest day. Buckner is tough and rarely misses time, but it isn’t looking great for his chances to play this Sunday.
Tight end Drew Ogletree missed practice again today with a neck injury. Ogletree missing two practices hurts his chances of being available. The Colts do have ample depth at the tight end position, but Ogletree is a valuable part of the offense with his blocking and occasional receiving looks.
