Colts WR Josh Downs isn't expected to remain out long with his groin injury. HC Shane Steichen said Sunday that the injury isn't serious and that Downs could return as soon as Tuesday's joint practice with the Patriots, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder.

Colts WR Josh Downs sat out practice Saturday with a groin injury, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. We’ll look for more details before worrying about the situation.

Colts WR Josh Downs (hip, knee) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other info on these injuries. Downs finished out last weekend's loss to the Texans, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. But check back tomorrow for another update on his status.

Colts QB Daniel Jones was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a calf. "Sounds like the Colts are being cautious," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted. "Still worth keeping an eye on..." We'll certainly be keeping an eye on this one. With QB Anthony Richardson on IR, QB Riley Leonard is Indianapolis' backup. He'd be a huge downgrade for the offense.

Colts WR Josh Downs (hip) is off the final injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Downs will be in his usual slot role in this weekend’s potential shootout vs. the Steelers.

Colts WR Josh Downs (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Downs, and we don't have any other details. We'll keep tabs on his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. Downs' absence would leave targets behind for WRs Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce and TE Tyler Warren.

Colts WR Josh Downs (concussion) practiced all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll be back in his usual No. 3 WR, slot role for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. The Colts are 14.5-point favorites with a 31-point implied total in that one. That gives Downs elevated TD upside, but we’re unlikely to get big volume.

Colts WR Josh Downs is in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. He never left last week's game but must have started having symptoms afterward. Downs is now unlikely to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday. WR Ashton Dulin also missed Wednesday's practice with a chest injury. If he and Downs miss Week 7, the Colts would likely be forced to rely on WR Adonai Mitchell, who's been banished to the bench since dropping the ball at the goal line back in Week 4. Michael Pittman is the only Colts WR that belongs in fantasy lineups this week.

Colts WR Michael Pittman was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring. That likely means he hurt the hammy today -- and puts his status for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders in question. Indianapolis is getting WR Alec Pierce back from his concussion this week. Pittman would typically be replaced by WR Adonai Mitchell, but Mitchell gave up the ball at the goal line and committed a costly holding penalty last week. It's unclear if the Colts would go back to him in a full-time role. The other options would be WR Ashton Dulin -- or using WR Josh Downs in 2-WR sets. We'll update Pittman's status tomorrow.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Downs has eight catches on 11 targets and underwhelming playing time through two weeks. But he’d be a more interesting play in PPR leagues if TE Tyler Warren’s toe injury keeps him out of Sunday’s game vs. the Titans.

Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be good to go for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Downs' route rate has been too low through two weeks to trust him as a fantasy option, although that could change if TE Tyler Warren's toe injury forced him out.

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

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is believed to be recovered from the right shoulder issue he dealt with last month, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Richardson missed two weeks of June minicamp with an aggravation of the AC joint injury that ended his 2023 season. The rest has seemingly alleviated the issue, though. Richardson has been "throwing the ball with velocity" for weeks, per Holder, although it's still possible that he'll be on a pitch count early in camp.
