Colts Announce Seven Inactives for Week 11 Matchup with New York Jets
Indianapolis Set to Travel to East Rutherford for Crucial AFC Clash
The Indianapolis Colts have officially announced their list of inactive players for their upcoming Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. The Colts will be without seven key players, including starting wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and starting cornerback Kenny Moore II.
Key Injuries and Absences
Pittman has been sidelined with a calf injury since Week 9 and will miss his third consecutive game. His absence will be a significant blow to the Colts' passing attack, as he leads the team in receiving yards and touchdowns.
Moore, meanwhile, is dealing with an ankle injury and will also miss his third straight game. His absence will leave a void in the Colts' secondary, as he is one of the team's top playmakers.
Other notable players on the Colts' inactive list include running back Deon Jackson (ankle), defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (back), and offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann (ankle).
Impact on the Game
The Colts' numerous injuries could have a significant impact on their game plan against the Jets. With Pittman out, the Colts will need other receivers to step up and fill the void in the passing game. Quarterback Matt Ryan will likely rely more heavily on tight end Mo Alie-Cox and wide receiver Parris Campbell.
On defense, the Colts will need to find a way to replace Moore's production. Rookie cornerback Dallis Flowers is expected to start in his place, but he will be facing a tough matchup against Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
Looking Ahead
The Colts are currently 3-6-1 on the season and in need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. They will face a tough test against the Jets, who are 6-3 and coming off a bye week.
The Colts will return to action on Sunday, November 20th, when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lucas Oil Stadium.
