By the end of their Week 5 matchup, the Indianapolis Colts were playing without nine starters, and they weren't able to overcome them as they lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Thankfully, they were able to get multiple vital players back on the practice field ahead of Week 6. Their inactive list this week is much cleaner than a week ago, but sadly, their offense will still be without two dynamic players as they continue to work their way back. 


Colts Week 6 inactives

The Colts ruled star RB Jonathan Taylor out after he missed all week of practice. But all week long, it seemed like QB Anthony Richardson was set to make his return to the field. To the shock of nearly everyone, though, the team decided to air on the side of caution yet again and listed him as their emergency QB 3 for Week 6. So the only way Richardson will play today is if both Joe Flacco and Sam Ehlinger are ruled out during the game. On the bright side, both Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. are suiting up. Even after it was rumored that Pittman Jr. could be heading to the IR. They also are getting Kwity Paye, Kenny Moore II and Ryan Kelly back on the field after missed the past two weeks. 


Titans Week 6 inactives

The Colts are going to be facing off with a Titans team that didn't rule out a single starter for their Week 6 matchup (minus players on IR, who are ineligible to appear on the inactive list). They were able to get multiple key players on the field to end the week, and they are now going to have players such as Jeffery Simmons and DeAndre Hopkins on the field, ready to square off with the Colts.
