According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs, who’s recovering from a high-ankle sprain suffered during early training camp, is considered ‘50-50’ regarding whether he’ll play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday:
#Colts WR Josh Downs, dealing with a high-ankle sprain, is considered 50-50 whether he plays today, source said. Though he practiced fully on Friday, high-ankle sprains can linger and the team wants to make sure he has zero issues before he plays.

While Downs was a full participant during Friday’s team practice, and that would ordinarily place him on track to play for Week 2, it appears as though he’ll truly be a “game-time decision,” as the Colts training staff may want to see how the ankle responds to cutting and on-the-field work prior to Sunday’s kickoff.
