Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is not sure if he will play in his team's Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Colts WR TY Hilton said today he was fighting thru tightness in his calf Thursday night — "I didn't have my explosiveness" — and spent the weekend in the training room, getting treatment. Hopes to practice this week and play, but at this point, he doesn't know for sure.

Hilton has been battling a calf injury that kept him out from Weeks 9 through 11. He returned last Thursday in the Colts' AFC South showdown against the Houston Texans but logged just three catches for 18 yards.
The wideout says that he was fighting through the tightness in his calf during the loss and that he didn't have his usual explosiveness. He also noted that he spent the weekend in the training room getting treatment and hopes to practice this week and eventually play on Sunday.
Indianapolis is battling injuries up and down its roster, whether it's running back Marlon Mack being sidelined with a fractured hand, receiver Devin Funchess trying to return from a collarbone injury or tight end Eric Ebron being placed on injured reserve due to ankle issues.
Obviously, the Colts desperately need Hilton on the field, especially considering they will be going up against a Titans club that has now drawn even with them at 6-5 and is ascending while Indianapolis seems to be declining.
In the seven games, he has played this season, Hilton has logged 35 catches for 378 yards and five touchdowns.
The 30-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Florida International University, was originally selected by the Colts in the third round (92nd pick overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft.
He made four straight Pro Bowl appearances between 2014 and 2017, leading the league with 1,448 receiving yards in 2016.
