The Indianapolis Colts are getting a key member of their defense back for Week 14.
As DT Grover Stewart returns from his suspension this week.
The Colt's defense has drastically missed Stewart's presence on the inside during his suspension. More specifically, the team's run defense has struggled without their anchor leading that effort.

Stewart shared with the media that he won't need to be on a snap count in his first game back, which will likely mean he slides back into his starting role. With multiple backup/struggling QBs coming up on their schedule, stopping the run will be critical for the Colts the rest of the season.
