Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (hand) is expected to return from the hand injury that has sidelined him for four games in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Footballguys view: Campbell is a good deep sleeper this week with speed to burn against a Bucs secondary that is prone to breakdowns in coverage. |

Indianapolis Colts PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) on Friday, Dec. 6, was ruled out of the team's Week 14 game with a knee injury.
Footballguys view: Chase McLaughlin, who has been mostly good, will kick for his third team this year in place of the ageless Vinatieri. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) is not expected to be on a pitch count in Week 14 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to head coach Frank Reich, who also indicated that he'll have all four of his running backs active for the game.The potential unlimited usage was probably what Mack's fantasy owners want to hear, although the idea that Reich is going to make all of his backs active - a rarity in today's NFL - makes him slightly less attractive for fantasy purposes, especially in a difficult matchup. Owners should have a more enticing flex option on the roster if they've survived the last couple of weeks without him.

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, and the Buccaneers have allowed a league-low 723 rushing yards to opposing backs while holding them to the second-fewest yards per carry (3.26).
Footballguys view: Mack will be a low ceiling option who will probably need a touchdown or two to come through for you in Week 14. |

Indianapolis Colts CB Kenny Moore II (ankle), FS Malik Hooker (foot) and PK Adam Vinatieri (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 5. CB Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) was limited during practice. S Clayton Geathers (non-injury), TE Mo Alie-Cox (thumb) and WR Parris Campbell (hand) fully participate in practice.
Footballguys view: Campbell appears to be ready to return and he could get a lot of touches against a vulnerable Bucs pass defense. He's a deep sleeper this week. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) will practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Footballguys view: This was the target return date for Mack all along, but we'll have to see him practice throughout the week. Mack could be a RB3 or flex play in Week 14 if he starts against the Bucs. |

Free-agent WR Malik Henry (49ers) was signed to the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts Tuesday, Dec. 3.

Indianapolis Colts WR Chad Williams was elevated from the practice squad Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Footballguys view: Williams was a third-round pick of the Cardinals coming out of Grambling State in 2017 but he didn't do much in Arizona. The Colts stashed him on the practice squad to develop but are calling him up now with Chester Rogers going on Injured Reserve. Williams will give them depth behind Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson, and Ashton Dulin ...and T.Y. Hilton of course (if he's healthy). |

Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (hand) is nearing a return from a fractured hand suffered in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was a limited participant in all three practices last week, but just wasn't quite ready to go. 'I was hoping that he was gonna get there last week, and we didn't quite get there,' head coach Frank Reich said Monday, Dec. 2. 'So that would make you believe there's a pretty good chance (in Week 14), but we've said this many times: until you actually get out there and practice, and especially, like we said, for a younger guy, we need to see it all three days out there - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - that he's ready mentally and physically to go. And hopefully he is, but it's too early to tell.'

Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess (clavicle) will not return from the Reserve/Injured list, head coach Frank Reich confirmed.

Indianapolis Colts WR Parris Campbell (hand) has a chance to play in the Week 14 game.
Footballguys view: The team lost Chester Rogers (knee) for the rest of the year, so getting Campbell out there would help. A second-round pick out of Ohio State in the 2019 NFL draft, Campbell hasn't done much this year due to injury. In six games, Campbell has 15 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown. We'll continue to monitor him in dynasty formats. |

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) hopefully will be able to play again this season and is not an option for the Reserve/Injured list at this point, according to head coach Frank Reich.
Footballguys view: Hilton has been close to returning, he has returned and then he suffered a setback on his calf injury during practice last week. We'll see if he can get back on the practice field this week and get cleared for Week 14. |
T.Y. Hilton player page

Indianapolis Colts WR Chester Rogers (knee) will likely miss the remainder of the season due to a fracture in his knee. He'll undergo further testing to confirm the injury.
Footballguys view: We saw Marcus Johnson get more work for the Colts on Sunday. He saw the third-most targets behind Zach Pascal and Jack Doyle in Week 13. The passing game as a whole is just waiting for the return of T.Y. Hilton. He suffered a setback with his calf injury last week in practice and did not play against the Titans. |

Indianapolis Colts CB Kenny Moore II (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 13 game and is considered questionable to return.
Footballguys view: Moore is a key defensive performer for this team and they can't afford to lose him for an extended time. Jameis Winston and the Bucs might dodge Moore next week. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess (collarbone) is not expected to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list before the deadline Wednesday, Dec. 4, meaning that he will be ineligible to play again this season, according to multiple sources.

Indianapolis Colts RB Marlon Mack (hand) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) did not participate in practice for a second straight day Friday, Nov. 29, and has also been ruled out. WR Parris Campbell (hand) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. TE Mo Alie-Cox (thumb), S Khari Willis (concussion) and CB Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) fully practiced Friday and are also listed as questionable. S Clayton Geathers (rest), DL Denico Autry (rest), OT Anthony Castonzo (rest) and DE Justin Houston (rest) did not practice Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. OG Quenton Nelson (hip) and DE Jabaal Sheard (rest) were upgraded to a full practice Friday and have also been taken off the injury report.
Footballguys view: Mack could be back within a week or two as he was seen working on the side and should be in football shape because he isn't dealing with a muscle or joint injury. Campbell should be back this week and the team will need him with Hilton sidelined. |

Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (calf) suffered a setback Wednesday, Nov. 27, and has been ruled out for Week 13. He is week to week.
Footballguys view: This is bad news for Jacoby Brissett and the Colts offense as a whole. Jack Doyle might get a slight upgrade and the team will have to err on the side of getting Parris Campbell back on the field this week. Devin Funchess is no sure thing to get activated as the Colts are sinking on offense. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess (clavicle) won't return to the field in Week 13, according to head coach Frank Reich Wednesday, Nov. 27. The window for the Colts to add Funchess to the active roster from the Reserve/Injured list expires Wednesday, Dec. 4, at which point he'll be shut down for the season if not activated. 'He's not going to make it this week, not because of anything we've learned in the last couple of days,' Reich said. '... We've had no setbacks, there's been nothing negative, the reality is from where we've got to be and where we need to be, he won't make it there on Sunday.'
Footballguys view: Funchess has been a major bust of a one-year signing and his value will be way down in the free agent market next year. He's on the roster fringe in shallow dynasty leagues. |
