Michael Pittman Michael Pittman Back to full participation Thursday
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 2:52 PM
Pittman (glute) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Pittman's return to full participation Thursday suggests his absence from Wednesday's practice was precautionary. The Colts' No. 1 wide receiver is on track to suit up Sunday against the stingy Falcons secondary. He figures to maintain a significant role after racking up 17 catches for 210 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets over his team's previous two games. |

Michael Pittman Michael Pittman Back at practice
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 12:41 PM
Pittman (glute) practiced Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After missing Wednesday's session, Pittman's return to practice a day later bodes well for his Week 10 status. The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal the wideout's official participation level. |

Anthony Gould Anthony Gould Non-participant again
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 12:34 PM
Gould (knee) is not practicing Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gould has yet to practice in any capacity since having suffered a knee injury Week 8 versus the Titans. With Adonai Mitchell having been traded to the Jets, Ashton Dulin will have no competition for the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs if Gould is unable to play Sunday in Berlin versus the Falcons. |

Anthony Gould Anthony Gould Remains sidelined at practice
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 6:14 PM
Gould (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Gould was absent from the team's 27-20 loss to the Steelers in Week 9 while dealing with a knee injury. The wide receiver has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice, but he'll have two more chances to return to the field prior to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons. |

Michael Pittman Michael Pittman Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 2:59 PM
Pittman (glute) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Pittman was on the field for 88 percent of the Colts' snaps on offense in the team's Week 9 loss to the Steelers, a game in which he caught nine of his 12 targets for a season-high 115 yards. Thursday's injury report will provide added context with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but it Pittman is hindered at all this weekend, Ashton Dulin would be a candidate for an uptick in snaps alongside Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. |

Adonai Mitchell Adonai Mitchell Just one reception in loss
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:28 PM
Mitchell had one reception for two yards on one target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Mitchell played four snaps on offense. He's still behind Ashton Dulin on the depth chart, who played seven snaps on offense. While it's encouraging he's getting any targets considering his demotion on the depth chart after a much-publicized mental error in Week 4 when he erased a would-be 76-yard receiving touchdown by dropping the ball prior to crossing the goal line, he's not likely to get much more playing time without injuries in the receiving corps. |

Ameer Abdullah Ameer Abdullah Minimal role in loss
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:11 PM
Abdullah had one carry for three yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Abdullah played five snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps with the Colts trailing most of the game (as Goodson is usually seen as the better receiver). However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past as Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball. |

Tyler Goodson Tyler Goodson Has one reception in loss
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 7:08 PM
Goodson had one reception for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps on offense with the Colts trailing most of the game. However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past as Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. Ameer Abdullah played on five snaps and had one carry and one reception. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball. |

Josh Downs Josh Downs TDs in three straight
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 9:37 PM
Downs recorded six receptions on nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Downs saw a season-high nine targets, though that came on 50 passing attempts from Daniel Jones. Most of his production also came with the Colts down three scores in the final quarter, logging 35 yards and his touchdown in the final 13 minutes of game time. While that context is important, Downs has managed to find the end zone in three straight matchups. |

Alec Pierce Alec Pierce Commands 13 targets
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 9:25 PM
Pierce recorded six receptions on 13 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Pierce was the beneficiary of Daniel Jones taking to the air 50 times, as he racked up a career-high 13 targets. Pierce began the game well, recording three catches for 64 yards on the Colts' first offensive possession. While he slowed from there until garbage time -- he racked up 43 yards in the final six minutes of the game -- Pierce still managed his first 100-yard performance since Week 17 of the 2024 campaign. Pierce also has a consistent role in the Colts' offense, recording at least 50 receiving yards in each of his last three games. |

Tyler Warren Tyler Warren Lowest yardage total of season
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 8:20 PM
Warren recorded five receptions on seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Warren saw a normal amount of opportunity in the loss, though that was less impressive considering Daniel Jones took to the air 50 times. The bigger problem was Warren's lack of downfield targets, as his longest gain went for only nine yards. That led to the lowest yardage output of Warren's impressive rookie season, though he's still earned at least four receptions in all but one game on the campaign. |

Daniel Jones Daniel Jones Five turnovers in loss
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 6:07 PM
Jones completed 31 of 50 passes for 342 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He added three rushes for four yards and an additional touchdown to go along with two lost fumbles.
Analysis: Jones looked to be on his way to another efficient day, as he went 5-for-9 for 73 yards and a rushing score on the Colts' first possession. However, he struggled with negative plays for much of the game, taking five sacks in addition to his five turnovers. Jones managed to pad his stats with a few long drives in the fourth quarter, one of which concluded with a four-yard touchdown pass to Josh Downs. This marked Jones' first significant struggle of the season, and he'll now lead the Colts into a Week 10 matchup against the Falcons. |

Michael Pittman Michael Pittman Tops 100 yards
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 4:31 PM
Pittman recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The Colts faced a multi-score deficit for nearly the entire second half, forcing them to a pass-heavy offense. That benefited Pittman, who saw a season-high 12 targets and converted that into both his highest receptions and yardage totals of the campaign. Much of Pittman's production came in garbage time in the fourth quarter -- 65 of his 115 yards came in the last 12 minutes of game time -- but he took advantage of his opportunity in a mostly underwhelming offensive performance for the Colts. |

Jonathan Taylor Jonathan Taylor Slowed in Pittsburgh
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 4:16 PM
Taylor rushed14 times for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.
Analysis: Taylor has been unstoppable most of the season, but he was underwhelming in Sunday's loss. He was limited to only 3.2 yards per carry with a long gain of nine, though the Colts were also forced to take to the air as they faced a two-score deficit for nearly the entire second half. That limited Taylor's volume and led to his lowest yardage output of the season. This was also the first time he didn't find the end zone since Week 4. |

Laquon Treadwell Laquon Treadwell Elevated Saturday
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 12:36 PM
The Colts elevated Treadwell to their active roster Saturday.
Analysis: The Ole Miss product is now in line to join the Colts' active roster for the second time in the last three weeks. In the Week 7 matchup against the Chargers, Treadwell played 12 special-teams snaps and didn't record an offensive stat. Now back with the active roster, he's likely to play a similar role in the Week 9 matchup against the Steelers. |

Anthony Gould Anthony Gould Ruled out for Week 9
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 12:15 PM
Gould (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gould was injured in last Sunday's win over the Titans and will miss his first game of the season. Gould has just one catch for three yards this season, seeing 11 percent of the offensive snaps. With Gould out, Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell could see sparse snaps behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. |

Josh Downs Josh Downs Returns to full practice
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 2:58 PM
Downs (hip) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: After missing Wednesday's session, Downs' return to a full practice a day later paves the way for him to be available Sunday against the Steelers. With a 29-256-2 receiving line on 37 targets through seven games thus far, Downs -- who has scored in each his last two appearances -- continues to provide fantasy utility while working within a wideout corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. |
|
Josh Downs Josh Downs Back at practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 12:20 PM
Downs (hip) was on the field for practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Downs sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to the field a day later bodes well for his Week 9 availability. The Colts will release their second practice report of the week later Thursday, when it will be known whether the wideout was a limited or full participant. |

Anthony Gould Anthony Gould Opens week with DNP
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 4:49 PM
Gould (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Gould sustained a knee injury during the Colts' Week 8 win over the Titans, when he played 10 snaps (three on offense, seven on special teams) and logged 33 yards on two kickoff returns and 42 yards on two punt returns. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but if he isn't cleared to play, then Ashton Dulin would stand to take on most of the kickoff and punt return responsibilities for the Colts. |

Josh Downs Josh Downs Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:08 PM
Downs (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: In his return from a concussion in the Colts' Week 8 win over the Titans, Downs was on the field for 64 percent of the team's snaps on offense en route to catching all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. He now has two more chances to practice fully before the Colts' final injury report is posted head of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Also missing practice Wednesday was fellow wideout Anthony Gould (knee), which currently leaves Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell as Indy's top healthy options at the position. |
