Adonai Mitchell Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Colts’ WR Josh Downs left Thursday’s practice early with an apparent hamstring injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Colts WR Alec Pierce suffered a groin injury in Sunday's practice. He briefly tried to play through it before heading inside with trainers, according to The Indy Star's Joel Erickson. That suggests it's not a significant injury, but we'll look for more details.

Colts WR Adonai Mitchell got off to a rough start in training camp, struggling with drops. But he's turned it around lately and was the star of Tuesday's joint practice with the Ravens, according to multiple Colts beat writers.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He leaves behind 4.1 targets per game, giving WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs slight boosts. WR Adonai Mitchell figures to soak up most of Pierce's snaps but is only viable in DFS tournaments.

Colts WR Alec Pierce sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos and won't return. It's his second documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week. Pierce's absence means a boost in snaps for WR Adonai Mitchell.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. He missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a full workout on Friday. That should have him on track to play on Sunday, but we'll get Indianapolis' inactives around 11:30 am ET. WRs Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) are both out, which will mean a big boost in playing time for WR Adonai Mitchell.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on his foot injury. WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, while WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) also missed Wednesday's practice. That leaves Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould as the three healthy WRs on Indianapolis' active roster.

Colts WR Josh Downs is considered "week to week" with the shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Lions and is a "long shot" to play against the Patriots this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "But the belief is he did not suffer a major injury," Rapoport adds.

Colts WR Michael Pittman is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Lions with a shoulder injury. It's a new injury for Pittman, who's been playing through a bad back and also suffered a finger injury earlier this season. We'll update his status when we know more. His absence should mean more snaps for WR A.D. Mitchell.

Update: Pittman returned to the game.

Colts WR Michael Pittman (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jets, but Pittman is no better than a WR4 with QB Anthony Richardson back at the controls. Rookie Adonai Mitchell figures to revert to the No. 4 spot on the depth chart with Pittman back.

The Colts have ruled WR Michael Pittman Jr. out for Sunday's game against the Bills. He's officially listed with back and finger injuries and has missed practice all week. The back issue seems to be what's keeping him out this week, though. Pittman returned to last week's game after dislocating the finger.

Colts WR Josh Downs (toe) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's seemingly in legitimate danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Titans. That'd leave Indianapolis without its top two WRs in Downs and Michael Pittman. Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell, and Ashton Dulin would be left as the team's top three WRs. We'll update Downs' status again tomorrow.

Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."

Colts WR Alec Pierce racked up 134 yards and a TD on just 3 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He crew just 3 targets, tying for sixth on the team, but continued to run the second-most pass routes. Pierce trailed only WR Michael Pittman Jr. in that category.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco starts in his place. The 39-year-old threw for 168 yards with two TDs and 0 INTs in relief of Richardson last week. And he averaged 323 yards and 2.6 TDs per game across five starts for the Browns last year. Flacco sits well into QB2 range in the Week 5 Rankings, but he’s a significant upgrade for Colts pass catchers.

Colts WR Josh Downs expects to make his 2024 debut vs. the Bears this weekend, he said on Wednesday. Downs suffered his high-ankle sprain exactly six weeks ago, so he should be getting close to 100%. He practiced all last week, including a full workout on Friday.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. The team is wisely playing it safe with his return from a high-ankle sprain. Downs should be back for Week 3, but we’ll track his progress this coming week. His absence keeps Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, and Adonai Mitchell locked in as Indianapolis’ clear top three WRs.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. But HC Shane Steichen has labeled him a game-time decision. Downs shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups in his first game off a high-ankle sprain. But his return would threaten the playing time of WR Alec Pierce and, especially, WR Adonai Mitchell.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He officially didn’t practice all week but was seen sprinting on Friday. We’ll see if Downs can make it back from his high-ankle sprain for Week 2. Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce will operate as Indianapolis’ clear top three WRs this weekend.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He's four weeks removed from suffering a high-ankle sprain and seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's opener vs. the Texans. We'll continue to track Downs' status and see if he can make it back for Week 2.
