The Indianapolis Colts have completed their week of practice ahead of their Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.

They have now ruled two starters out for this week's game. 

Head coach Shane Steichen officially ruled out RB Jonathan Taylor and CB Juju Brents. 

Taylor had surgery to repair his thumb this week and is expected to miss the next two to three weeks as he recovers. Brents will now miss his fifth straight game with a quad injury he suffered vs. the Cleveland Browns. This is longer than the team expected at the time of the injury, as they elected not to place him on IR. 

With Taylor out, the Colts will again turn to backup Zack Moss to lead their backfield. And with Brents out again this week, the Colts will rely on rookie Jaylon Jones and Darrell Baker to handle their starting outside corner snaps.
