Ryan Kelly, the Indianapolis Colts' center, is set to return to practice after undergoing knee surgery and being placed on injured reserve. His comeback is crucial for an offensive line struggling with injuries, especially after third-string center Danny Pinter's impressive performance against the New England Patriots.
Additionally, linebacker Jaylon Carlies and wide receiver Josh Downs are also returning to practice this week. Downs, the team's leading receiver, missed the last game due to a shoulder injury.
As the Colts prepare for a critical matchup against the Denver Broncos, they face challenges, including the potential absence of right tackle Braden Smith for the remainder of the season. Rookie Matt Goncalves is expected to step in for Smith.
