T.Y. Hilton and the Indianapolis Colts are preparing for their Wild Card matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday afternoon. While many are viewing the Colts as a sleeper contender this season, there are still some major concerns surrounding them. One of those concerns could be the health of Hilton.

According to a report from NFL.com, Hilton is questionable to play on Saturday due to the ankle injury that has been bothering him for weeks.

Colts wideout T.Y. Hilton is listed as questionable to play against Houston with an ankle injury after not practicing this week, and it sounds as if the veteran receiver will be good to go on Saturday afternoon.

The term “questionable” can cause some concern, but the report does state that he should be good to go.

Hilton has been terrific once again this season with Andrew Luck back under center. He has been the clear No. 1 receiver and is one of the most underrated receivers in the league.

Throughout the 2018 NFL regular season, Hilton caught 76 passes for 1,270 yards and six touchdowns. If he were to miss the game against Houston, the Colts' offense would be in trouble. Fellow wide receiver Ryan Grant has already been ruled out due to injury as well.

Indianapolis should have their star wide receiver on the field this week despite the injury concern. He has found ways to play at a high level even with the ankle injury in recent weeks and missing a playoff game would not sit well with Hilton.
