Colts List Six Inactives for Week 2 at Arrowhead
The moves reshape Indianapolis's receiving depth and special-teams roles through injured players being sidelined and a practice-squad receiver being elevated.
Overview
- The Colts announced Sunday that six players would be inactive for their Week 2 game at Arrowhead Stadium: WR Ashton Dulin, QB Riley Leonard (emergency third quarterback), RB D.J. Giddens, DE George Gumbs Jr., LB Austin Ajiake, and G Dalton Tucker.
- Dulin was officially ruled out on Friday with an ankle injury, and Giddens, who was listed questionable with a knee issue, landed on the inactive list for the game.
- Riley Leonard is designated the emergency third quarterback and is listed inactive; NFL rules let that player enter only if both the starter and backup are unable to play.
- Wide receiver Anthony Gould was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday and is active for Sunday, a short-term move that changes depth and special-teams assignments.
- Several inactives — including Gumbs, Leonard, and Tucker — were scratched again after being inactive in Week 1, and Austin Ajiake appears healthy but is a tactical healthy scratch, a pattern that could shape Indianapolis's rotation and special-teams personnel during the game.
