It's never ideal when a star player joins the injury report late in the week. 

But that's the reality for the Indianapolis Colts, who saw DT Grover Stewart miss practice Friday. 

Stewart is the anchor to the team's run defense, and any time he is not on the field, interior offensive linemen take a breath of relief. If he can't go, Eric Johnson would likely see an uptick in play, being the only clear reserve replacement for Stewart. 

The hope remains that this was just a rest day for Stewart. We will know more when the team's official injury report is released later today. So, we will update you as we learn more about this situation.
