Ahead of Sunday's matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the LA Chargers, let's take a closer look at the final injury reports and the potential impact on those games.
The Colts have already ruled out wide receivers Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin, along with cornerback Charvarius Ward.
Without Downs, it will take a group effort to make up for his absence in the slot. Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, and Tyler Warren will likely all see snaps inside.
With Dulin out as well, the Colts will turn to AD Mitchell this week, after he was a healthy scratch against Arizona.
Not having Ward will continue to test the Colts' cornerback depth. Expect Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards to start on the outside. Cameron Mitchell could be a practice squad elevation again.
Kenny Moore is questionable, but Shane Steichen has already said he will play. We will have to see if he's on a snap count.
Tyler Goodson is questionable as well. If he can't go, look for the Colts to elevate Ameer Abdullah, who has helped out on special teams in Goodson's absence and seen some snaps on offense during passing downs.
The Chargers are working through a few injuries on the offensive line. Left tackle Joe Alt is doubtful, while right tackle Trey Pipkins has already been ruled out.
Austin Deculus has started at left tackle in Alt's absence.
Along with Alt being doubtful, so is safety Elijah Molden.
Among those who are questionable are defensive end Khalil Mack and linebacker Denzel Perryman. Both are on injured reserve, but Gavino Borquez of Chargers Wire writes that Mack and Perryman are "expected" to play.
Also questionable for LA are running back Hassan Haskins, wide receiver Derius Davis, offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer, and linebacker Troy Dye.
Haskins has played 34 snaps over the last two games, while Dye has been one of the Chargers' starters at linebacker. Salyer has one start and has filled in at right guard and, most recently, right tackle.
