The Indianapolis Colts are heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Oakland Raiders looking to improve to 3-1 on the young season. After a rough Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Colts have come through with wins over the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately, they will likely be missing a key player this week against the Raiders.

According to the Colts' injury report, shared by The Athletic's Jimmy Durkin, star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has been downgraded to doubtful for this week's game.

This would be a massive loss for the Colts' offense if he is unable to go. Indianapolis already lost wide receiver Devin Funchess due to a clavicle injury and they don't have a lot of proven players behind those two. Hilton is the star of the offense and Jacoby Brissett will need other players to step up in a big way around him if he can't play.

Hilton went down with the quad injury at the end of the first half on a touchdown against the Falcons. It was obvious immediately that the injury was something to keep a close eye on, as Hilton walked to the locker room with a heavy limp.

Through three games this season with the Colts, Hilton has caught 20 passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns. Those numbers show just how important Hilton is to the Colts.

While he hasn't been ruled out yet, it is very unlikely that he will be able to play this week. If he can't play, Indianapolis will look to names like Deon Cain, Zach Pascal, and Parris Campbell to step up against the Raiders.
