The Indianapolis Colts (0-0) and Houston Texans (0-0) released their lists of inactive players ahead of the Week 1 matchup at NRG Stadium on Sunday.
We already knew the Colts would be going into this game without linebacker Shaquille Leonard, who is still working his way back from offseason back surgery. It isn’t clear how much longer he will be out, but it’s encouraging that he logged at least limited practices all week.
