The Colts on Friday ruled out wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) and right tackle Braden Smith (personal matter) for their Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, head coach Shane Steichen said.
Wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder), who missed the Colts' Week 13 win over the New England Patriots, participated in all three of the Colts' practices this week.
Linebacker Jaylon Carlies (fibula, shoulder) and center Ryan Kelly (knee), who are both on injured reserve, were designated to return to practice on Wednesday. Both Carlies and Kelly participated in practice this week – Carlies was full on Wednesday and Thursday, while Kelly was limited both days. The Colts would need to activate either or both players off injured reserve on Saturday for them to be able to play Sunday in Denver.
Steichen said "we'll see" when asked if Carlies, Downs and Kelly could play Sunday.
Center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practices. He did not play in Week 13.
Check back later for the Colts' final practice report of Week 15, which will include game status designations.
