The Colts got a cleaner injury report Thursday, and the biggest movement was all in the right direction.
Three Indianapolis players who were limited Wednesday were bumped up to full participation a day later: safety A.J. Haulcy, tight end Drew Ogletree and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. also landed on the report Thursday with an illness, but he was a full participant as well. The only Colt who did not practice was defensive tackle Grover Stewart, who was held out for a scheduled rest day.
Stewart also had rest days on Thursdays last season.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce remained limited after being listed as limited Wednesday, though the expectation is still that he plays Sunday. The Colts are typically careful not to overwork a player coming back from injury.
Haulcy’s return to full work stands out because he had not practiced for two weeks before this week. Van Pran-Granger also had some catching up to do after missing his first week of practice with the team last week following his trade. There’s no sign yet that any of the Colts’ injury-reported players will be ruled out, though head coach Shane Steichen is set to update that on Friday.
Baltimore had its own encouraging note on Thursday, even with the team running a walkthrough instead of a full practice. Wide receiver Zay Flowers moved from limited Wednesday to full participation, while linebacker Teddye Buchanan, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike and wide receiver Devontez Walker all remained limited.
The Ravens’ report still leaves a few questions. Madubuike is working back after the season-ending neck injury he suffered in Week 2 last September, Buchanan tore an ACL in December, and Walker’s issue is newer, so his status is less certain. None of the three has been ruled out yet.
The Colts and Ravens meet Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium on CBS.

Colts Defensive Overhaul Just Sent A Former Starter To A Rival
The Colts defensive makeover keeps reshaping the back end of the roster, and Jaylon Jones is the latest familiar name to land elsewhere. Indianapolis waived the cornerback, he cleared waivers, chose free agency and then signed with the Tennessee Titans, giving him a quick path to a division rival after previously spending time in a key role for the Colts.
Jones now reunites with Titans defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who coached him in Indianapolis, while the Colts continue sorting out their secondary under new coordinator Lou Anarumo. The move is another sign that the scheme change is more than cosmetic for Indianapolis, with old pieces falling away as the team looks for defenders who fit the new approach better. [Read more 🡒]
Former Colts Starter Just Created An Awkward AFC South Test
Jaylon Jones move across the AFC South is the sort of roster swing that can linger on the schedule. The former Colts cornerback, who made 17 starts in 2024, was let go after injuries and a less effective 2025 season made it harder for Indianapolis to keep him in the mix. Tennessee wasted little time giving him a new home, adding him to the active roster as it continues reshaping its defense.
For the Colts, the awkward part is obvious: if these teams meet, Jones will be standing on the opposite sideline with a chance to line up against his old team. Tennessees new defensive setup could give him an opening to play, while Indianapolis enters the matchup with a cornerback group that looks far deeper and better positioned to limit whatever role he ends up carving out.

Anthony Richardson Suddenly Has A Colts Opportunity He Can't Waste
Sam Darnolds early exit in Seattle offered a reminder of how quickly a quarterback room can change, and for the Colts, that reality carries a direct effect on Anthony Richardson. Darnold was injured in the first game of the season and did not return, with Drew Lock taking over and helping the Seahawks finish off the win, while reports afterward said the MRI looked good. Even so, the episode underscored the fragile nature of a season behind center, especially for a team with quarterback depth questions already hanging over it.
For Richardson, the message is simple: stay ready, because an opportunity could arrive sooner than expected if Daniel Jones misses time at any point. The Colts have invested heavily in the quarterback position and need someone capable of stepping in without the offense losing its identity, which puts added importance on Richardson being prepared for whatever comes next. In a league where one injury can change the depth chart overnight, this is the kind of opening he cannot afford to let pass. [Read more 🡒]
