Colts’ WR T.Y. Hilton, who has missed the past two games with a calf injury, is expected to play tonight, per sources. Hilton wants his team to know it can count on him.

The Colts' No. 1 wide receiver has been absent from the Colts' offense for the last two weeks due to a calf injury. After testing the calf during pre-game warmups, it appears that Hilton is ready to help Indianapolis attempt to make an unforeseen playoff run.
Before the 2019 season, Hilton had only missed four games in his career because of injuries. This year alone, the four-time Pro Bowler has been inactive in six contests for the Colts due to multiple ailments.
Despite his injuries, Hilton is still third on the team in receptions (35), third in receiving yards (378), and tied for first in touchdowns (5). Indianapolis will undoubtedly welcome him back with open arms as it takes on the New Orleans Saints.
As a matter of fact, in the six games that Hilton has been sidelined, Indianapolis has lost five of those games. That goes to show how crucial Hilton is to the Colts and how well their offense performs.
The one player who is excited to have TY Hilton available is Jacoby Brissett. The quarterback will need to target his most reliable pass-catcher if the visitors want to upset the Saints on Monday night in New Orleans.
This will be the first week, in many, that Indianapolis has Brissett, Marlon Mack, and Hilton on the field together.
