INDIANAPOLIS — Quenton Nelson might not be able to answer the bell on Sunday in Miami for the first time in his NFL career.
Nelson suffered a sprained ankle in the second quarter against the Titans on Sunday and left the game, and after the Colts spent the early part of the week evaluating the All-Pro left guard’s injury, it hasn’t progressed.
Barring a surprising turnaround, Nelson will miss the first start of his career.
“Probably not looking good for Quenton this week,” Colts head coach Frank Reich said. “I’m not ready to rule him out or anything like that, he’s a quick healer, but we’re probably not optimistic about this week.
