The 3-1 Indianapolis Colts are looking to get back on track in Week 5 when they host the 1-3 Las Vegas Raiders. In Week 4, they had to fight through multiple missing starters and ultimately fell short vs. the Los Angeles Rams, suffering their first loss of the season.
They will have a similar obstacle today in Week 5 with two starters missing the game due to injury. A notable member not on the list, though, is WR Adonai Mitchell, who some fans wanted to see inactive today as a punishment for his mistakes in Week 4.
Colts Week 5 inactives
Mitchell ended up active this week after two crucial mistakes wiped 14 points off the board in a game when the team lost by only seven. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler shared that the Colts may give more snaps on the day to Ashton Dulin, opposed to Mitchell, but both are active and ready to play a role today, with starter Alec Pierce still in the NFL’s concussion protocol. I would assume the Colts use Josh Downs in a larger role than he’s seen in recent weeks.
The other Colts starter out today is CB Kenny Moore II, who, like Pierce, is missing his second game of the year. The team will give veteran Mike Hilton his second straight start after signing him to its practice squad. After this week, the team will need to move him to the active roster full-time if they want him to continue playing. And if Moore’s injury forces him to miss more time, they honestly won’t have a choice.
Raiders Week 5 inactives
The Raiders have three starters on their inactives list and are down four total starters, with LT Kolton Miller being placed on the IR. The most notable inactive for the Raiders will be star TE Brock Bowers. Late in the week, head coach Pete Carroll allowed Bowers to be ready to go, but that didn’t end up being the case. The Raiders are also down their second-string TE Michael Mayer, so this is a massive blow to their offense and a big break for the Colts.
