Colts' Josh Downs: Misses another Wednesday session
Downs (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.
The same can be said for Michael Pittman (back), but given that neither player was reported to have experienced any setbacks during Week 8 action, their listed absence for the fourth consecutive Wednesday is presumably a case of workload management. In this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to Texans, Downs logged a 70 percent snap share while putting up a 4/109/1 receiving line on nine targets. As long as the wideout is able to fully practice by Friday, he figures to approach this weekend's game against the Vikings minus an injury designation, just as he did prior to facing Houston.

Colts' Josh Downs: Leads pass catchers in loss
Downs secured four of nine targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also recorded 13 rushing yards and returned two punts for 12 yards.
Downs led the Colts with a season-high receiving yardage total, and he was the only Indianapolis pass catcher to record more than 16 yards during another highly inefficient performance by Anthony Richardson. Richardson recorded his third touchdown of the season on a dynamic 69-yard catch late in the first quarter, and he had a 25-yard grab in the final period that was initially ruled a touchdown before being overturned on replay. Downs now has at least 66 receiving yards in five of the last six games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a tough road matchup against the Vikings next Sunday night.

Colts' Josh Downs: Practices fully Thursday
Downs (groin/toe) practiced fully Thursday.
Downs and Michael Pittman (back) were deemed non-participants Wednesday, but both players practiced fully a day later, which sets the stage for the duo to be available alongside fellow WR Alec Pierce on Sunday against the Texans. In five games to date overall, Downs has compiled a 28-242-2 line on 38 targets, though in QB Anthony Richardson's return to action in the Colts' Week 7 win over the Dolphins, the 2023 third-rounder caught just one of his three targets for three yards. An uptick in Downs' production this weekend is plausible, though it remains to be seen if he'll be able to match the pace he put up while Joe Flacco worked as the team's signal caller.

Colts' Josh Downs: Back at practice
Downs (groin/toe) participated in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Both Downs and Michael Pittman (back) were deemed non-participants Wednesday, but both were back for Thursday's session, which bodes well for their availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. The Colts' upcoming injury report will reveal Downs' official participation level Thursday.

Colts' Josh Downs: Misses Wednesday's practice
Downs didn't practice Wednesday due to groin and toe injuries.
Downs had missed the last two Wednesday practice sessions as he managed a toe issue, and while the wideout is still being listed with the toe injury, he's now also nursing a groin concern as Sunday's game against the Texans approaches. The wideout's status is thus worth tracking closely in the coming days, and his availability for the Week 8 contest could be in jeopardy if he doesn't resume practicing fully by Friday.

Colts' Josh Downs: Misses Wednesday's practice
Downs (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Downs and Michael Pittman (back) have missed some practice time due to their respective injuries in recent weeks, and both watched rom the sideline Wednesday. In Week 7, Downs logged limited practices Thursday and Friday after a missed session Wednesday, then proceeded to suit up for the Colts' 16-10 win over the Dolphins. While Downs' participation will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's trip to Houston, Anthony Richardson's inaccuracy under center seems to be a bigger threat than the toe injury to Downs' fantasy outlook.

Colts' Josh Downs: Just one reception in win
Downs had just one reception for three yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Miami.
Anthony Richardson struggled in the passing game by going 10 of 24 for just 129 yards, leaving little production for Downs and the Indy wideouts. Downs had 16 receptions for 135 yards and a touchdown the prior two weeks with Joe Flacco at quarterback but has had little production with Richardson under center. Downs had just three receptions for 22 yards Week 3 against Chicago in Richardson's other full start with Downs also healthy. Downs looks like a risky fantasy option with Richardson as the starter as a result.

Colts' Josh Downs: Ready to play Sunday
Downs (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Downs was one of three Colts wideouts listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but he, Michael Pittman (back) and Alec Pierce (shoulder) will all be available to give quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) his full assortment of weapons in the passing game as he returns from a two-game absence. While Richardson missed Weeks 5 and 6 and most of the Week 3 game with the injury, Downs produced a 24-217-2 receiving line on 30 targets while Joe Flacco presided over the offense. In his lone full game with Richardson this season back in Week 3 against the Bears, Downs was much less productive (three catches for 22 yards on five targets).

Colts' Josh Downs: On track to play Sunday
Downs (toe) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Additionally, Michael Pittman (back) and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are both expected to play after all three Colts wideouts were given designations on Friday's injury report. Anthony Richardson is back under center this week for Indianapolis, capping the floors and ceilings of the wide receiver trio. Downs produced a 3-22-0 line on five targets in his lone game with Richardson under center back in Week 3.

Colts' Josh Downs: Questionable for Week 7
Downs (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Downs was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday after failing to practice in any capacity Wednesday. Fellow Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman (back) and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are listed as questionable as well, but Pierce logged a full practice Friday, and coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that he expects Pittman to play while providing no such assurances regarding Downs. Even if Downs suits up Sunday, he'll have a low floor with the Colts switching back to Anthony Richardson under center against a Dolphins defense that has allowed only three passing touchdowns this season.
