Colts vs. Chiefs: Initial injury report for Week 3

The Indianapolis Colts (0-1-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) were on the practice field Wednesday as both teams prepare for a Week 3 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

While the Colts are looking to move on from arguably the worst loss of the Frank Reich era, the Chiefs are comfortably 2-0 at the top of their division and are coming off of a few extra days of rest after playing on Thursday night in Week 2.

Here is the initial injury report for the Colts in Week 3:

*DNP = Did Not Participate — LP = Limited Participant — FP = Full Participant*

Player Injury Wed. (9/21) Thur. (9/22) Fri. (9/23) Status
OT Bernhard Raimann Ankle DNP
DT DeForest Buckner Hip LP
DE Yannick Nagkoue Back LP
WR Michael Pittman Jr. Quad LP
S Julian Blackmon Shoulder FP
LB Zaire Franklin Shoulder FP
LB Shaquille Leonard Back FP
WR Alec Pierce Concussion FP
DT Grover Stewart Shoulder FP

Notes

  • The new additions to the injury report from last week include: OT Bernhard Raimann, S Julian Blackmon, LB Zaire Franklin, DE Yannick Ngakoue and DT Grover Stewart
  • LB Shaquille Leonard, WR Alec Pierce, DT DeForest Buckner and WR Michael Pittman Jr. were all on the injury report last week. The fact that they started the week with at least a limited practice is a good sign for their availability.
  • Leonard practiced in full all last week but was still ruled out. It’s hard to imagine the same thing happening this week.
  • Pierce is expected to clear the concussion protocol, barring any setbacks.
  • S Trevor Denbow (ankle) remains on the injured reserve list.
