Impact Sermon left Indy's first preseason game Sunday with a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but it's not a good sign that he hasn't returned to practice this week.

Trey Sermon - Misses practice Sermon (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Joe Flacco - Not expected to play Saturday Flacco isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Flacco is expected to sit along with the rest of the Colts' starters. The 39-year-old did play last week against Denver, completing 3-of-5 passes for 28 yards on his lone series of work. Flacco has the Colts' QB2 job sewn up behind Anthony Richardson. Look for plenty of Sam Ehlinger this weekend for Indianapolis.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Not slated to play Saturday Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Pittman won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game versus the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Along with Pittman, the rest of the Colts' starters and No. 2 signal-caller Joe Flacco won't be available for the team's second exhibition. Assuming Josh Downs (ankle) also doesn't play, Indy's available wide receivers figure to be rookie second-rounder Adonai Mitchell, Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin (hamstring, if available), among others. In four pro seasons to date, Pittman has two 1,000-yard tallies on his resume, and he's posted 14 receiving touchdowns in 49 regular-season contests the last three campaigns.

Ethan Fernea - Reverts to IR Fernea (undisclosed) went unclaimed Thursday after getting waived/injured by the Colts on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact The wide receiver now has to reach an injury settlement with the Colts to have a chance to play in 2024. Fernea appeared in three games and on two offensive snaps for Indianapolis in 2023 but did not catch a pass.

Jonathan Taylor - Not in line to play Saturday Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Taylor won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact The same can be said for the rest of the Colts' starters and No. 2 quarterback Joe Flacco. With Taylor in street clothes, Trey Sermon (hamstring, if available), Tyler Goodson, Evan Hull, Zavier Scott and Demetric Felton will be the candidates to work out of Indianapolis' backfield. As for Taylor, he's coming off back-to-back injury-riddled campaigns in which he averaged 90.4 yards from scrimmage per game and scored 12 total touchdowns in 21 regular-season contests.

Evan Hull - Working as No. 2 running back Hull took the majority of No. 2 running back snaps during Wednesday's practice with Trey Sermon (hamstring) sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Impact Hull has a chance to build some momentum at training camp after an impressive showing in Indianapolis' preseason opener, the same game in which Sermon departed early due to a hamstring injury. Thus far Sermon had worked as the clear No. 2 man behind Jonathan Taylor, but Wednesday's practice seems like an indication that Hull, one of the better pass-catchers in the Colts' backfield, could be favored for the No. 3 gig over Tyler Goodson.

Impact Carlies had been sidelined due to a hip injury since July 31, but he appears healthy and ready to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cardinals. The rookie fifth-round pick is working to transition to linebacker after having played safety during college.

JuJu Brents - Resumed practicing Brents (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Brents spent time on the sideline recently to rest his shoulder, but he looks back to full health ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cardinals. The 2023 second-round pick seems likely to open the regular season as a starting cornerback for Indianapolis.

Greg Ward - Finds new home Ward signed a contract with the Colts on Wednesday.
Impact Ward has been a regular member of the Eagles' organization for the past five seasons, including as a member of the practice squad for the last two. The Houston product last suited up in 2021, where he appeared in 17 regular-season games, making seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns.

Anthony Richardson - Not likely to face Arizona GM Chris Ballard noted that Wednesday that there's a good chance Richardson doesn't play Saturday against the Cardinals, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Impact Per the report, the Colts are trending toward using the same blueprint as last year with Richardson, which would set the stage for the QB to play about a half in the team's preseason finale against the Bengals on Aug. 22. Richardson logged seven snaps during this past Sunday's exhibition opener versus the Broncos.

Trent Pennix - Goes on IR Pennix (groin) reverted to the Colts' injured reserve Tuesday after going unclaimed off waivers, per the NFL transaction log.
Impact Pennix sustained a groin injury in Sunday's preseason bout against Denver. He was waived/injured by Indianapolis on Monday, but he was moved to IR the next day after not being claimed off waivers by another team. Pennix will now be forced to sit for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Colts.

Demetric Felton - Claimed by Indianapolis The Colts claimed Felton off waivers Monday.
Impact Felton was waived by the Bears on Sunday after he rushed for minus-one yard on one carry in Saturday's preseason game against the Bills. It didn't take long for the 2021 sixth-rounder to catch on with another team, and Felton will look to earn a spot on the Colts' 53-man roster as a depth running back. Indianapolis waived/injured Trent Pennix (groin) to make room on the training camp roster for Felton.

Ashton Dulin - Misses game with hamstring injury Dulin (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.
Impact Dulin missed practice Friday with a hamstring injury and the severity of the injury isn't clear. Dulin suffered a season-ending torn ACL back in August 2023, but had returned to practice at full speed at the start of training camp.

Joe Flacco - Plays one drive in Colts debut Flacco was 3-of-5 passing for 28 yards and played one series in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver.
Impact Flacco should get more work later in the preseason as the backup to Anthony Richardson. The reigning NFL Comeback Player of the Year is coming off an impressive showing with Cleveland last season, but will be strictly a backup in Indy. He gives the Colts a veteran capable of keeping the team afloat should Richardson go down.

Impact The 2024 fifth-round draft pick was seen mostly as a candidate for special teams as a star punt and kickoff returner, but has been working with the first-team offense in training camp at times as a receiver. He could take over the punt return job if Josh Downs misses regular season games due to a high ankle sprain.

Laiatu Latu - Three QB pressures in Colts debut Laulu had one tackle and pressured the quarterback three times in Sunday's preseason loss to Denver, but didn't play much on run downs, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact It was a promising debut for the 2024 first-round draft pick. Kwity Paye and Tyquan Lewis started at defensive end, but Laulu will also be counted on heavily, and perhaps more than initially expected, due to Samson Ebukam's season-ending Achilles injury.
