The Indianapolis Colts were dealing with key injuries on both sides of the ball heading into their primetime matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Fortunately, it appears they were able to welcome them back to practice.
Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, running back Marlon Mack, and linebacker Darius Leonard managed to log in some practice time ahead of their matchup with the Chiefs.
TY Hilton, Darius Leonard, Marlon Mack practicing today. Encouraging on all fronts
This is certainly an encouraging update for Indianapolis. Although they face a formidable opponent with Kansas City still undefeated, they can take solace in the fact that they could potentially be at full strength against them.
Hilton's absence left a rather notable void in the Colts' offense after being sidelined with a quad injury last week against the Oakland Raiders. There is clearly a large gap between him and the rest of this receiving corps. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett will undoubtedly be happy to have his No. 1 option back in the mix if he is able to return.
Mack had picked up an ankle injury during the second half of their loss to Oakland. He was unable to practice all week before finally making his appearance. He has established himself as the workhorse in the backfield thus far in the 2019 NFL season, however, Indianapolis could be forced to use a tandem of Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines in the backfield if he is unable to play.
Meanwhile, Darius Leonard is still recovering from a concussion that has forced him to miss the last two games. While he has logged in more practice time than the aforementioned names, he will first need to clear the concussion protocol before making his return.
