The Indianapolis Colts (7-5) are on the road this week for their Week 14 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals (6-6). 

As their practice week ahead of that matchup begins, there will be multiple players whose status for Week 14 will be important to monitor. 

One name being starting RT Braden Smith, who left Week 13 with a knee injury and wasn't able to return. If Smith can't go this week, it would be another start for rookie Blake Freeland. Another player whose progress will be important to see this week is rookie CB Juju Brents. He has missed the past five weeks with a quad injury, but there seems to be some optimism brewing about him potentially returning to the field. 

Wednesday Injury Report: 

The Colts elected to again bypass practice Wednesday and hold a walkthrough instead. Which means these designations are estimations the team made on what they believe the players status' would have been. 

Four players received a did no practice designation. Those players being RB Jonathan Taylor, LB EJ Speed, RT Braden Smith, and CB Juju Brents. We already know RB Jonathan Taylor will be out this week with the thumb injury that he had surgery on last week. We will have to wait till tomorrow to see if the Colts can get any of Brents, Speed or Smith back on the practice field.
