Listed on the Indianapolis Colts‘ final Week 3 injury report were cornerback Charvarius Ward (concussion) and tight end Tyler Warren (toe).
Both players are listed as questionable.
However, not listed with an injury designation is defensive end Laiatu Latu.

Latu popped up on last Wednesday’s injury report with a hamstring injury. He then did not practice on Thursday or Friday before eventually being ruled out for Sunday’s game against Denver.
This week, Latue returned to practice as a limited participant on Wednesday, but then was a full participant on Thursday and Friday–two good signs that he would be good to go against the Tennessee Titans.
Without Latu in the lineup last week, the Colts‘ pass rush very much missed his presence. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a lot of time in the pocket, which contributed to his efficient performance through the air.
By ESPN’s pass rush win rate metric, the Colts rank 32nd in that category through two games.

The Titans’ offensive line ranks 30th in pass block win rate, and they’ll be without right tackle JC Latham against the Colts.
