Following Thursday’s practice, the Indianapolis Colts released their second injury report of the week as they continue to prepare for a divisional Week 16 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
Let’s take a closer look at what you need to know from this edition:

– Let’s start with the good news: Michael Pittman was a full participant after not practicing on Wednesday. That potentially means Wednesday was more of a rest day for him rather than him having a setback. Also returning was Ashton Dulin in a limited fashion. This was his first practice since suffering an ankle injury against Detroit in Week 12.
– For the second day, the Colts were without four of their starters with Mo Alie-Cox, Matt Gay, EJ Speed, and Alec Pierce all missing Thursday’s practice. The practice status for these players on Friday will be important. Not to say that a player hasn’t missed all three days of practice and still played on Sunday–it’s certainly happened–but it’s not as common. For more on the potential impact, click here.
– JuJu Brents was again limited. As I said on Wednesday’s report, my guess is that there will be a ramp up period for him before we see Brents back on the field on Sundays.
– Laiatu Latu was a full participant after missing Wednesday due to an illness and Jaylon Carlies, Ryan Kelly, and Tyquan Lewis were all full participants for a second straight day–which is usually a good sign for Sundays.
