Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton and linebacker Darius Leonard are both missing from Friday's practice, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Colts final padded practice of the week, and no sign of TY Hilton or Darius Leonard. Doesn’t mean TY won’t play — rarely practiced in December last year with two ankle sprains, and was terrific each Sunday.

Hilton is dealing with a quad injury, but as Keefer points out, there is still a chance he could play because last December he didn't practice much, but still played. Hilton said on Wednesday that he was feeling better it was still a little sore.
“It’s doing better, Hilton said of his quad via the Colts team website. “It’s a little sore today, but it’s doing better.”
Hilton wasn't sure if he was going to be able to play though, and it's clear that it's even more up in the air now.
“If I can go, I’ll go,” Hilton said simply, referencing the Raiders game. “If I can’t, then it’s coach’s call.”'
If Hilton isn't able to go, it's a huge blow to the Colts offense who have leaned on him heavily through the first three weeks. Hilton has caught 20 passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns and has been a favorite target of Jacoby Brissett.
For Leonard, he started feeling concussion-like symptoms after the teams Week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans and hasn't practiced since. Last week it was Anthony Walker who filled in, and he played well racking up a team-high 14 tackles.
It still seems Hilton has a chance to play, but it's hard to imagine the team would run out Leonard after missing the last two weeks of practice.
If neither guy can go hopefully, they can be back for the Colts huge game in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
