The final injury report is here for Colts-Titans. The Colts are dealing with some COVID issues, as star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner has already been ruled out with the virus.
Here’s the rest of the injuries as they stand heading into Sunday:

| TE Jonnu Smith (Ankle) | Full | Full | Full | — |
| S Kenny Vaccaro (Concussion) | Full | Full | Full | — |
*Estimated, no practice held.
THOUGHTS
The Titans will be without Adoree Jackson yet again, in addition to MyCole Pruitt and Adam Humphries. Rodger Saffold and Ben Jones are questionable, but after turning in limited sessions all week, I’d expect them both to be active Sunday. Saffold called himself a “game-time decision” but thinks he’s trending towards playing.
Brett Kern practiced all week and could return against Indianapolis if he is added back to the active roster before Sunday. Darrynton Evans, Kristian Fulton, and Tye Smith also participated in practice this week, but none have been activated yet.
All in all, no real surprises as we head into Sunday.

THOUGHTS
The Colts will be missing a few key defenders, as LB Bobby Okereke has already been ruled out, along with COVID-affected players Denico Autry and DeForest Buckner. That should make things a bit easier for Derrick Henry and the offensive line.
I’d expect all the questionable Colts to play, including starting LG Quenton Nelson, starting QB Philip Rivers, and starting LB Anthony Walker. C Ryan Kelly seems like the biggest question mark after not practicing this week.
How about bringing Matt Patricia in as a defensive “consultant” for the remainder of the season?
