The Colts limped into Thursday night’s contest, missing arguably their best player on each side of the ball, Jonathan Taylor and Shaquille Leonard. Taylor is nursing a combination of turf toe and an ankle sprain. Shaq was hit by Zaire Franklin on a collision early in the Titans' Week 4 game that landed him in concussion protocol, and broke his nose. Julian Blackmon is still out with a shoulder injury that he sustained on an acrobatic interception attempt when the Colts played the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Thursday night, Nyheim Himes suffered a concussion on the first drive of Thursday’s game and has a better chance to get through protocols with the extra time.
