The Indianapolis Colts have been performing rather well for a team that just lost their franchise quarterback to injuries. The good news just keeps getting better for the Colts as both T.Y. Hilton and Marlon Mack are likely to feature against the Atlanta Falcons.
Adam Schefter gave an update regarding the condition of two of their key men on offense. Going by his report, there's enough reason for Colts fans to be cautiously optimistic of their chances playing in Week 3.
Colts’ RB Marlon Mack, questionable with a calf injury, is likely to play but teams wants to test him in pre-game warmups before making any final decision on his status for Sunday’s game vs. Falcons.
Same with Colts WR T.Y. Hilton, who is listed as Q with quad injury.

The return of their two important players will definitely add variety to the ways the team can attack the football.
The team has handled Luck's loss well, with the team putting up battling performances against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Tennessee Titans. Given the way they've fought tooth and nail recently, it's not hard to expect another scrappy outing from the Colts.
Marlon Mack will be the more important player to return to the lineup. It's been only two weeks of football and he's already had 45 carries for 225 rushing yards. The Colts offensive line has beautifully adjusted to becoming a run-based team, and his production will be important for the W.
While the Colts won't be throwing every snap, Hilton is still an important playmaker for the team. He's already proven his efficiency on offense, completing three receiving touchdowns 130 receiving yards on only 12 receptions.
It's likely that the score won't be settled until the final snap, but the Colts will surely put up a fight. With these two likely to play, it's hard not to expect another W for Indianapolis.
