The Indianapolis Colts were on the practice field for the first time on Thursday after holding a walkthrough on Wednesday, and released their second Week 12 injury report.
Let’s take a closer look at what you need to know.

– We will see what Friday brings, but Raimann did not practice again on Thursday and hasn’t practiced since exiting the Buffalo game in the first half with a knee injury. Last week, Shane Steichen would call Raimann week to week and mentioned on Wednesday that they would see how he progresses this week before making a decision about this Sunday. However, with him not having practiced in almost two weeks now, I would guess that Matt Goncalves will get the start at left tackle again. We will see.
– Michael Pittman was a full participant for a second day–a good sign that his back is feeling well coming out on last Sunday’s game.
– Braden Smith was upgraded from a limited participant to a full participant as he works through a foot injury. Again, a good sign for this week’s game against a very good Lions’ defense.
– Of note, Josh Downs and Kenny Moore were added to the injury report after not being listed on Wednesday, but both were full participants.
– Lastly, Tyquan Lewis, who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday was a full participant for the second straight day. When asked about the possibility of playing this week even though he just returned to practice after missing the last seven weeks, Lewis said this via the Indy Star:
“It’s possible,” Lewis said of playing this week. “However, I do think moving on throughout the week, we’ve just got to get adjusted to playing again.”
