The Indianapolis Colts are coming off a big win in Week 11 over the New York Jets.
A win that included a career-best performance from Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, and now they have to shift their focus toward the red-hot Detroit Lions coming to town.
Both teams will be without key starters for this matchup, so make sure to check who was ruled inactive for each squad.
Colts Week 12 inactive list
For the second straight week, the Colts will be without star left tackle Bernhard Raimann, who is contained to nurse a knee injury. He has yet to return to practice over the past two weeks, and the team continues to label his recovery window as "week to week." With him out, the team will again look to rookie Matt Goncalves to make the third start of his NFL career. And for the second time this season, the Colts will start three rookie offensive linemen: Matt Gongalves (LT), Tanor Bortolini (C), and Dalton Tucker (RG).
On a positive note, though, the Colts will have defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis back on the field this week. The team activated him off the IR ahead of the matchup, but he remained questionable for the game. But the team left him off their inactive list, and therefore, the versatile lineman is ready to make his return to action. We will have to wait and see how large of a role he gets in his first game back from his elbow injury. But I'm sure he will join the rotation off the edge with Kwity Paye, Laiaitu Latu, and Dayo Odeyingbo.
Lions Week 12 inactive list
The Lions will be without starting rookie corner Terrion Arnold after the team downgraded him from questionable to out on Saturday. But the team is getting starting slot CB Emmanuel Moseley back on the field this week for the first time in nearly two years after a torn ACL caused him to only log a handful of snaps in 2023 and miss the first 11 weeks of 2024. So rust should certainly be expected when he takes the field. Carlton Davis will be the only fully healthy CB, so the team will lean heavily on their star safety duo of Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph in the passing game.
The Colts sign a familiar face from their past ahead of Week 12 with a young starter struggling in recent games
The Indianapolis Colts 2024 season seemed to be falling off the rails, with the team losing three in a row. But the decision to reinsert Anthony Richardson back as their starting quarterback and picking up a big win in Week 11 over the New York Jets seems to have given the team new life. Now […]
