ALAMEDA – The Indianapolis Colts have some big names skipping practice leading up to Sunday’s game with the Raiders.
Receiver T.Y. Hilton is one, missing his second straight practice on Thursday with a quadriceps injury. He aggravated the ailment during a Week 3 win over the Falcons and did not return to that game.
His status is ultimately uncertain but will play a big factor in this game. Hilton is the Colts’ top target, someone who could trouble the Raiders defense.
Linebacker Darius Leonard has also missed Colts practice with a concussion. He had seven sacks, two interceptions and four forced fumbles last year, and taking away that valued and versatile weapon would make life a little easier on a currently struggling Raiders attack.
