Colts WR Josh Downs expects to make his 2024 debut vs. the Bears this weekend, he said on Wednesday. Downs suffered his high-ankle sprain exactly six weeks ago, so he should be getting close to 100%. He practiced all last week, including a full workout on Friday.
The Colts have placed DT DeForest Buckner on IR after MRI confirmed a high-ankle sprain, according to Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. That means Buckner will miss at least the next four games. The veteran had missed just one game because of injury through Week 2 of his ninth season (plus one more for a positive COVID test).
Colts DT DeForest Buckner played just 10 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Packers before leaving with a sprained right ankle. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the injury is "expected to make him a long-shot for next week." Indianapolis hosts the Bears on Sunday.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ended with a final stat line of 12 rushes for 103 yards as well as two receptions on four targets for 32 yards.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson ended with a final stat line, completing 17 of 34 passes for 204 yards, one TD, and three INTs. he also ran for 37 yards on four carries.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner (back) is active for today's game against the Packers. The Colts D will also have Edge Kwity Paye (questionable, hamstring) but miss S Julian Blackmon, who was ruled out earlier in the week. The matchup with Packers backup QB Malik Willis is driving the strength of this matchup for the Indy team defense more than any individual player.
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. The team is wisely playing it safe with his return from a high-ankle sprain. Downs should be back for Week 3, but we’ll track his progress this coming week. His absence keeps Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, and Adonai Mitchell locked in as Indianapolis’ clear top three WRs.
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is "50/50" for today's game vs. the Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "High-ankle sprains can linger and the team wants to make sure he has zero issues before he plays," Rapoport adds. We'll get Indianapolis' inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Downs should not be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.
Colts K Matt Gay (hernia) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll kick vs. the Packers on Sunday after missing the opener. With the Colts sporting a middling 21.75-point implied total, Gay isn’t a great fantasy option.
Colts WR Josh Downs (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday.

But his return would threaten the playing time of WR Alec Pierce and, especially, WR Adonai Mitchell.

Downs told the media afterward that he's about "80-90%" recovered from his high-ankle sprain. We'll keep an eye on his progress over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Packers. But Downs shouldn't be in your Week 2 fantasy plans.
