Castonzo, Okereke, Rigo, and Willis all ruled OUT for Sunday

I'm okay with them being out. Houston not having Fuller makes everyone's day easier.

[Caleb3502]

I assume George Odum will fill in for Willis. Probably will see more of Tavon Wilson as well. 

[AKB]

Who plays for Willis? 

 

31?

 

I like his energy. Hopefully he doesn't get burned. Sometimes enthusiasm isnt enough on its own. Remember TJ Green lol? Not saying they are similiar but man that was awful. 

 

[Lancer1]

Hopefully we win this game, and get a little healthier as we prepare to take on Vegas, Houston again & Pittsburgh.

[richard pallo]

We should be okay this week with Kelly, Buckner and Autry back.  We will probably run more with AC out and if we have to run this is the team to do it against.  Hopefully Clark is also better in the run game.   I will be curious to see if Rock still starts.

Reich said veteran S Tavon Wilson (31) will be covering for Willis.

[AKB]

Anyone else been wanting to see 34 get involved more on defense?

[Hark]

I believe Wilson has been pretty good when he has been used. Not having AC is always a concern, but with Houston's porous run D hopefully we can just feed Taylor, Wilkins and Hines.

So Clarke at LT and No punter

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Surprised Odum wont be starting for Willis. He always makes plays when he has to fill in.  Getting Buckner, Autry, and Kelly back is the biggest thing. Hopefully Reich has a plan for that left side. Watt could have a field day if he doesn’t.

Odum stinks

Ryan Allen will most likely be called up from the practice squad, and punt for us Sunday.

Can he though? He was just signed and I thought they said he wouldnt clear protocols in time

He was signed to the practice squad yesterday, but Ballard mentioned that he had been looking at punters as soon as he was made aware of Rigo's condition, and that was last week so Allen may have already cleared protocols for all we know.

Colts 4th and 28

I’m hoping the Steelers hold on so we can ruin their perfect season. 

 

Let’s get the run game going with Castonzo out. Hopefully that will take some of the stress off the O line.

He cleared before they signed him. He was at practice yesterday.

I'd love that! Hopefully KC loses another game before then so it wouldn't cost the Steelers the top seed. If they know that they can afford 1 loss without surrendering the AFC's #1 seed, they may not fight as hard, preferring to enter the postseason as healthy as possible but if we can win there, it could give us the AFC South title, in addition to a ton of belief & confidence in the event that we have a rematch several weeks later with a trip to Tampa as the prize.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. One week at a time.

[GoColts8818]

Better than it looked at the start of the week but please double and triple team Watt at the left tackle spot.

so he lines up against the lt now? i thought it was usually the RT unless he was on a stunt or something

If they're smart, they'll move him around. I recall an interview that Raiders great Howie Long was giving in which he outlined how he moved around and stated "Instead of just 1 lineman having to prepare for me, all 5 have to prepare for me!"

He lines up all over the line.  I am sure he will get some rushes on the Colts backup left tackle.  They would be beyond dumb not too and O’Brien doesn’t work there anymore.  

[PRnum1]

I'm reading Kelly will be back too !!

 

That is great news as you don't want Rivers not to have his starting LT and center
