The Colts have a COVID-19 scare on their hands, and now it's knocked out one of their best players.
The Colts have placed All-Pro left guard Quenton Nelson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning he is out for Saturday night's primetime Christmas game against the Arizona Cardinals.
If Nelson tested positive and is still unvaccinated, he will miss at least 10 days, which will knock him out for next week's home game against the Las Vegas Raiders as well.
Nelson is the third Colts starting offensive lineman set to miss Saturday’s game. Pro Bowl center Ryan Kelly is still out while dealing with the loss of his infant daughter, and right guard Mark Glowinski also went to the Reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
