Colts Get Midweek Boost as Two Players Clear Concussion Protocol

Thursday's practice returns key contributors and reduces short‑term depth concerns while two veterans remain sidelined for rest or injury.

Overview

  • Colts reporters and team notes show that defensive end Jaylahn Tuimoloau and guard Matt Goncalves were cleared from concussion evaluations and returned to practice on Thursday.
  • Wide receiver Josh Downs moved from a limited designation to full participation on Thursday, and tackle Jalen Travis was back in a limited role after an ankle issue.
  • Wide receiver Ashton Dulin has not practiced since October 2 and remained out on Thursday with a hamstring problem, and linebacker Jaylon Carlies did not practice because of rib trouble.
  • Several regulars, including Grover Stewart, Keenan Allen and Jonathan Taylor, were held out of Thursday practice for scheduled veteran rest, which is a workload management strategy rather than a new injury.
  • These midweek shifts ease immediate concerns at defensive end and guard but keep receiver depth cloudy, and practice reports will remain a key barometer before the Week 6 game.
