The Saturday version of injury report has been released by the league, and there are some notable names involved, and not just from the two Monday night games.
Michael Pittman is the clear No. 1 receiver for the Colts, but they’ve downgraded him from questionable to out. He’s a guy who’s typically going to catch 6-7 passes, so others will need to pick up the slack (particularly with one of their other wide receivers, Alec Pierce, also not playing). I think Parris Campbell and Ashton Dulin will be their busiest wide receivers, and I don’t see much difference between the two. Campbell is a starter for them anyway but hasn’t been able to get over the hump. Dulin is typically their fourth guy, but he plays some – at one point last week when they were in a power formation, he was on the field, with their three starters all on the sideline.
Those in larger leagues looking for a warm-body type starter can think about Campbell and Dulin (who were graded for this scenario in the Friday product). Nyheim Hines should also be busier than usual.
Also on Saturday, the Colts activated Chase McLaughlin; he’ll be their kicker.
For the Monday night games, the more notable injuries are for the game at Orchard Park. The Eagles and Vikings look pretty healthy.
For the Titans, they’ve ruled out Dontrell Hillard (hamstring). He caught a pair of touchdown passes for them in Week 1. They have also ruled out Kristian Fulton, who started last week at cornerback. Rookie receiver Kyle Philips, who led them in receiving last week, is questionable with a shoulder injury.
For the Bills, they’ll likely be down a couple of defensive tackles. They’ve ruled out Ed Oliver, while Tim Settle is doubtful. Those injuries could help soften up that defense some for Derrick Henry.
The Bills are also listing Gabriel Davis as questionable. He was a limited participant in practice today. He presumably picked up an injury in practice because he wasn’t mentioned at all on Thursday or Friday.
