Ahead of the Indianapolis Colts and LA Rams Week 4 matchup on Sunday, let’s take a closer look at the injury reports for each team and the potential impact that could have on the game.
For the Colts, they are without three starters in this contest. Kenny Moore (Achilles), Alec Pierce (concussion), and Matt Goncalves (toe) have already been ruled out.

In place of Moore, the Colts could turn to either Mekhi Blackmon or the recently signed Mike Hilton, who is in a position to hit the ground running after spending the last few seasons in Cincinnati playing under Lou Anarumo.
With Pierce out, we will see a lot more of AD Mitchell, who hasn’t had many opportunities this season as the team’s fourth wideout. Then at right guard, it will be second-year lineman Dalton Tucker in for Goncalves.
“I like where Tucker is at,” GM Chris Ballard said before the season. “Tucker’s really come along. Being an undrafted guy a year ago, having to be thrown in the mix and start some games. He had some struggles, but bounced back from that. I’m excited for him.”
Also of note, DeForest Buckner is questionable, but he did say earlier in the week that he expects to play in this game.

The Rams, meanwhile, have four players questionable, including wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring). After not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday, Adams was limited on Friday.
Offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (ankle), along with tight ends Tyler Higbee (hip) and Colby Parkinson (shoulder) are all questionable as well.
However, according to Cam DaSilva of Rams Wire, Sean McVay feels good about each of those four players being available on Sunday.
