Head Coach Frank Reich and the Indianapolis Colts will see some key players return to the field but also sit out Week 3 with injuries.

The Indianapolis Colts received more good and bad news on the injury front ahead of Week 3.

Wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce will return after missing last week’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Colts insider Joel A. Erickson from The Indianapolis Star reported Pierce deleted the concussion log on the night of September 22nd. Also Indianapolis head coach Frank Reich said during a Sept. 23 news conference that Pittman was “ready to go.”

But also the Colts excluded All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard for the third straight game. Leonard is yet to make his debut in 2022 despite having trained fully for the past two weeks.

In addition to Leonard, rookie left tackle Bernhard Raimann is also out due to injury.
