Injury Report Update: Colts Questionable on Braden Smith
Indianapolis Colts Tackle Health Uncertain
The Indianapolis Colts have listed offensive tackle Braden Smith as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith suffered a knee injury in practice this week and is considered day-to-day.
Smith's Importance to the Colts
Smith is a key cog in the Colts' offensive line, starting 15 games last season and helping the team rank among the league's top 10 in rushing yards per game. His absence would be a significant blow to Indianapolis' running attack.
Other Colts Injury Concerns
The Colts have several other players listed on the injury report this week, including defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (calf), linebacker Darius Leonard (ankle), and wide receiver Parris Campbell (knee). Ngakoue and Leonard are both considered doubtful for Sunday's game, while Campbell is questionable.
Outlook for Colts Against Jaguars
The Colts enter Sunday's game as 3-point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Smith's absence could make it more difficult for Indianapolis to establish a consistent running game, which could put pressure on quarterback Matt Ryan to make plays through the air.
