The Indianapolis Colts are adjusting to new starting quarterback Joe Flacco as they prepare for a Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The latest injury report reveals only one absence, with left tackle Bernhard Raimann recovering from a concussion.
Key offensive players Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith returned to practice, which is crucial against a Vikings defense known for its pass rush. Meanwhile, wide receivers Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. are also back on the field, providing Flacco with essential targets.
On the defensive side, Genard Avery is healthy, while Kwity Paye's hamstring issue raises concerns. The upcoming report will clarify the availability of players for the Sunday Night Football game.
