As the Indianapolis Colts prepare for their Wild Card playoff matchup against the Houston Texans, there are a couple of players that they will have to play without. Unfortunately, both Ryan Grant and Tyquan Lewis will be forced to miss Saturday's game due to injuries.
According to a report from Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star, Grant and Lewis have already been ruled out.

Both players are solid contributors for the Colts. Grant has fallen out of the lineup a bit, but Lewis was on the way up the depth chart and had been making an impact for the defense. That being said, the Colts still feel very confident in the roster that they will put on the field this week.
The good news for the Colts is that they will get starting center Ryan Kelly back on the field this week.
Grant, who was signed to a one-year deal last offseason, ended up playing in 14 regular season games for the Colts. In those appearances, he was able to catch 35 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown.
Lewis, on the other hand, was the Colts' second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He dealt with injuries for the majority of the season, only playing in eight games during his rookie season. Despite not playing much, Lewis was able to record 13 tackles, two sacks, and batted down a pass.
Indianapolis has been one of the best teams in football down the stretch of the season. They went 1-1 against Houston in the regular season, although many believe that they should have won the first meeting that ended in an overtime loss.
Make sure to tune into the game at 4:35 p.m. EST to see the Colts take on the Texans.
