The Colts on Friday ruled out defensive end Genard Avery (foot) and linebacker Jaylon Carlies (fibula, shoulder) for their Week 8 game against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.<\/p>\n
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (ankle) is listed as questionable. Buckner, who was limited on Wednesday and practiced in full on Thursday, was given a non-injury rest day Friday. The Colts still have to activate Buckner, who hasn’t played since Week 2, from injured reserve before he can play.<\/p>\n
Running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) did not carry a game status designation on the Colts’ final practice report of Week 8, clearing the way for him to play Sunday against the Texans. Taylor was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice and fully participated on Thursday and Friday. He hasn’t played since sustaining his ankle injury in the Colts’ Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers; this week was the first time he participated in practice since that game.<\/p>\n
Steichen said both Taylor and Buckner are “tracking very well” ahead of Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n
Carlies exited the Colts’ Week 7 win over the Miami Dolphins with his injury. Avery has appeared in one game this year, playing two snaps against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5.<\/p>\n
