        Josh Downs WR IND
        12:38am UTC 9/4/25

        Josh Downs Ready For Week 1

        Josh Downs Ready For Week 1

        Colts WR Josh Downs is not listed on the Week 1 injury report. He hurt a hamstring in mid-August but will be a full-go for Sunday's opener vs. the Dolphins. Downs has an excellent individual matchup in the slot vs. fifth-round rookie CB Jason Marshall Jr.

        Colts HC Shane Steichen expects WR Josh Downs (hamstring) to get back on the practice field next week, according to insider Mike Chappell. Downs has been sidelined since August 14. Returning to practice next week would put him on track to play in the opener vs. the Dolphins, although his level of participation would dictate whether he'd be a viable Week 1 fantasy start.

        The Colts will start QB Daniel Jones in their season opener against the Dolphins, according to both ESPN and NFL Network. Jones and Richardson seemingly played to a draw this summer, which makes it a bit surprising that Indianapolis isn't giving Richardson the Week 1 nod. We ultimately still expect both guys to start multiple games this season.

        Update: “He's the starting QB for the season,” HC Shane Steichen said of Jones on Tuesday. “I don’t want to have a short leash on that.” We still don't think Jones will play well enough to keep Richardson off the field all season, but expect Jones to be under center for a while.
