WESTFIELD, Ind. -- Indianapolis Colts starting wide receiver Josh Downs left practice with an ankle injury Wednesday morning, needing the assistance of two team staffers to leave the field before being carried on a cart to the locker room.

There were no immediate specifics about the injury, but the second-year Downs is a critical member of the Colts' offense after catching 68 passes for 771 yards last season -- second on the team in both categories.

Adding to the frustration of the injury was the fact that it might have been avoidable.
