Indianapolis Colts left tackle Bernhard Raimann exited the game against Buffalo following the team’s third offensive possession.
According to the team, Raimann is questionable to return with a knee injury.
Raimann would miss last week’s game against Minnesota while in concussion protocol. He returned to practice this week as a full participant all three days and was cleared to play on Friday.
Overall, Raimann has had a good season for the Colts, building off of a strong sophomore season in 2023. Out of 79 eligible tackles, he ranks 23rd in pass-blocking efficiency and 26th in run-blocking grade.
With Raimann out for the time being, rookie Matt Goncalves will step in at left tackle. Against the Vikings, in his first NFL start, Goncalves gave up three pressures, including a sack, but graded out well as a run-blocker by PFF’s metrics.
With Goncalves in the game, he is now one of three rookies along the Colts’ offensive line in this game. Tanor Bortolini is at center for Ryan Kelly who is on injured reserve and Dalton Tucker remains at right guard.
