The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 11 of the NFL season ahead of their Sunday game against the New York Jets
Left tackle Bernhard Raimann has been ruled OUT Sunday’s game against the New York Jets due to a knee. Raimann has not practiced all week due to the injury. With Raimann OUT this week expect to see rookie Matt Goncalves line up at left tackle in place of Raimann at left tackle. Goncalves does have some experience on the left side as he already started one game in place of Raimann in week 9 and also replaced Raimann in week 10 when he exited with the knee injury. Goncalves will have his hands full with the Jets defensive line in just his second game starting.
Linebacker EJ Speed is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Jets with a knee injury. Speed was limited twice at practice this week but looks to have progressed steadily, managing to be a full participant today. If Speed cannot play Sunday expect Grant Stuard to get the start in his place who has been playing exceptionally well when asked to start recently.
All others listed on the injury report go into the game without an injury designation for Sunday’s road trip to Minnesota. Braden Smith, DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart had scheduled rest days. Whilst Michael Pittman (back), Julian Blackmon (shoulder) also go into the game injury designation free as deemed healthy enough to play in the road trip to New York.
