Sunday morning injury updates

Downs, Pittman expected to play

We've got some injury updates, although a lot of them were clear yesterday. But a couple from this morning, most notably involving Colts receivers in the game against Tennessee.

  • Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) are expected to play. Of the two, Downs seems safest; with Pittman, seems like the kind of thing where if he takes a hit it could be aggravated. But apparently both will play, and you'd like to think the Colts wouldn't use a guy with a back injury if there were a significant health risk. Friday rankings ("if active") are there for both wideouts.

  • Diontae Johnson (ankle) is "good to go" for Carolina, according to Ian Rapoport.

  • Zamir White (groin) is not expected to play. Presumably no one was using him, but it makes Alexander Mattison a little more promising. On the down side, he's Alexander Mattison, facing a good Steelers defense, and Ameer Abdullah might be worked in some.

  • If anyone was planning on using the Cardinals kicker, it should be Chad Ryland instead of Matt Prater.

  • Stuff discussed in the comments of yesterday's column: Brian Robinson and Devin Singletary are out, Jakobi Meyers is doubtful.

  • James Cook is officially questionable, but expected to play. That being said, if you can line up someone else in the Monday game just in case, seems like a good idea.

  • Joe Mixon is expected to play for Houston, also ranked appropriately on Friday.

If I see any other notable developments in the next couple of hours, I'll post in the comments below.
