The Indianapolis Colts released their Friday injury report, and key cornerback/safety Darius Butler has already been ruled out with a concussion.
Obviously, with nothing to play for besides purely pride, it makes sense that the Colts wouldn’t push Butler back from a concussion in their regular season finale.
However, certainly not helping matters in the Colts secondary is that starting cornerback Rashaan Melvin (knee) is ‘questionable’–having participated in Friday’s practice on a limited basis after not practicing previously all week.
Without Butler, either backup cornerback Christopher Milton or Charles James II could assume the slot duties at the position with 4th-year veteran Darryl Morris the favorite to start in Melvin’s potential absence.
