One of the Indianapolis Colts' top blockers has been sidelined all week in practice. Will he play this Sunday in London against the Washington Commanders?
The Indianapolis Colts got one more full practice in on Thursday afternoon before embarking on a flight to London in the evening to take on the Washington Commanders this weekend.
There were some notable developments on the practice injury report, mostly for the Colts.
Here is how both teams' health is shaping up ahead of Sunday's matchup.
COLTS
- Did Not Participate — TE Mo Alie-Cox (illness), WR Ashton Dulin (ankle)
- Limited Participant — WR Keenan Allen (rest), LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), RB Jonathan Taylor (rest), CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest)
- Full Participant — K Spencer Shrader (right groin)
THURSDAY
- Did Not Participate — TE Mo Alie-Cox (illness), DT Grover Stewart (rest)
- Limited Participant — WR Keenan Allen (rest, groin)
- Full Participant — LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), WR Ashton Dulin (ankle), K Spencer Shrader (right groin), RB Jonathan Taylor (rest), CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest)
While Dulin remained out to start the week, he returned in full on Thursday, giving a glimmer of hope for his chances of playing on Sunday. However, Alie-Cox has missed both days of practice so far. If he can't play, Drew Ogletree would see a big uptick in usage. The team might also call up Pharaoh Brown from the practice squad for the game.
COMMANDERS
WEDNESDAY
*Walkthrough, participation is an estimation.
- Did Not Participate — G Sam Cosmi (concussion, throat), S Nick Cross (illness), RB Rachaad White (shoulder)
- Limited Participant — G Nick Allegretti (hip), S Percy Butler (concussion), QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow), DT Javon Kinlaw (shoulder), LB Frankie Luvu (groin), TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring), DE Charles Omenihu (ankle), G Lucas Patrick (foot), CB Amik Robertson (knee), TE Ben Sinnott (rib)
THURSDAY
- Did Not Participate — G Sam Cosmi (concussion, throat), S Nick Cross (illness), RB Rachaad White (shoulder)
- Limited Participant — G Nick Allegretti (hip), QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow), DT Javon Kinlaw (shoulder), LB Frankie Luvu (groin), TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring), DE Charles Omenihu (ankle), G Lucas Patrick (foot), TE Ben Sinnott (rib)
- Full Participant — S Percy Butler (concussion), CB Amik Robertson (knee)
OUT — G Sam Cosmi (concussion, throat), S Nick Cross (illness)
Washington already ruled out starting right guard Cosmi and starting strong safety (and former Colt) Cross early in the week, as the pair did not travel with the team.
Fellow starters Daniels, Allegretti, Okonkwo, Kinlaw, Luvu, and Robertson also missed some practice time.
It's still undecided whether Daniels or Marcus Mariota will start at quarterback. Daniels re-injured his left, non-throwing elbow in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys and did not play last week, while Mariota helped get the win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
The Colts and Commanders face off on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
