The Indianapolis Colts seem to be getting one of their cornerstone players back on offense in Week 5. According to Adam Schefter, T.Y. Hilton is expected to play in Week 5 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last week, Hilton missed his fifth career game for the Colts due to a quad injury that he suffered in Week 3. As a result, Indianapolis fell to the Oakland Raiders in Week 4, 31-24.

There's no doubt that the Colts missed their versatile wide receiver in last week's game. At the same time, the team is going to need him more than ever on Sunday against an undefeated Chiefs team.

Prior to his injury, Hilton had built a decent rapport with Jacoby Brissett to begin the season. In the three games he played in, Hilton caught 20 passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns. Furthermore, the Colts No. 1 wide receiver had found the end zone in every game this season.

Without Hilton in Week 4, the other wide receivers were targeted 26 times by Brissett. Altogether, the Colts wide receivers combined for just 12 receptions, 125 yards, and one touchdown on those 26 targets.

Now, with Hilton back in the mix, Brissett has his reliable target in the passing game. The Colts are currently 2-2 and are looking to upset Kansas City on national television in Week 5.

Considering the Chiefs average a league-high 33.8 points per game this season, Indianapolis is ecstatic to get Hilton back on the field this week. However, as Hilton is anticipating his return, Marlon Mack is a game-time decision for the Colts on Sunday Night Football.
