The Indianapolis Colts face a challenging week ahead as they prepare for their matchup against the Houston Texans, with a list of injuries affecting key players. Linebacker E.J. Speed returned to practice after missing the previous game, and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner has been designated to return from injured reserve, raising hopes for his participation.
Star running back Jonathan Taylor is also working back from an ankle injury, and his involvement could significantly aid quarterback Anthony Richardson against a tough Texans defense. However, the Colts are still managing injuries to wide receivers Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr., along with tackle Braden Smith and center Ryan Kelly.
Despite the injury woes, the Colts hold a 4-3 record and are vying for a chance at the divisional title, making this Sunday’s game crucial for their playoff aspirations.
