Colts WR Josh Downs is in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday. He never left last week's game but must have started having symptoms afterward. Downs is now unlikely to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday. WR Ashton Dulin also missed Wednesday's practice with a chest injury. If he and Downs miss Week 7, the Colts would likely be forced to rely on WR Adonai Mitchell, who's been banished to the bench since dropping the ball at the goal line back in Week 4. Michael Pittman is the only Colts WR that belongs in fantasy lineups this week.

Colts WR Michael Pittman was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring. That likely means he hurt the hammy today -- and puts his status for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders in question. Indianapolis is getting WR Alec Pierce back from his concussion this week. Pittman would typically be replaced by WR Adonai Mitchell, but Mitchell gave up the ball at the goal line and committed a costly holding penalty last week. It's unclear if the Colts would go back to him in a full-time role. The other options would be WR Ashton Dulin -- or using WR Josh Downs in 2-WR sets. We'll update Pittman's status tomorrow.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on his foot injury. WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, while WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) also missed Wednesday's practice. That leaves Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould as the three healthy WRs on Indianapolis' active roster.
