#Colts WR Josh Downs, dealing with a high-ankle sprain, is considered 50-50 whether he plays today, source said. Though he practiced fully on Friday, high-ankle sprains can linger and the team wants to make sure he has zero issues before he plays.

Packers haven't asked Willis to do much with his arm, but he's slinging it when they do.

@zkeefer: Didn't anticipate Malik Willis outplaying Anthony Richardson in this one ... ... but that's where we're at.

Indianapolis Colts’ defensive end Kwity Paye will play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

As of Saturday, it didn’t necessarily look like things were trending this way with the team announcing that they were elevating defensive end Genard Avery from the practice squad to provide additional depth in the event that Paye couldn’t play.

Paye was working through a hamstring injury during the week. He played 52 snaps in the opener against Houston–the most on the team at the defensive end position–but did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and was limited on Friday

Unfortunately, choosing the player of the game wasn’t all that difficult of a decision to make because in a game where very little went right for the Colts, options were limited.

However, deserving of it was running back Jonathan Taylor, who provided the lone steady spark to the Colts’ offense.

Taylor would finish the game carrying the ball 12 times and totaling 103 yards on those attempts, which included a long of 29 yards. That averages out to a whopping 8.6 yards per carry.

In addition to that, Taylor also had two receptions for 32 yards with a long of 18 yards. A telling stat about the state of the passing game for the Colts was that Taylor was the team’s second-leading receiver on Sunday

The first career touchdown pass from quarterback Malik Willis put the Green Bay Packers up 10-0 over the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter Sunday at Lambeau Field.

On 3rd-and-4, Willis threw a dart to receiver Dontatyvion Wicks, who beat slot corner Kenny Moore and turned up field for the 14-yard touchdown.

The Packers, who are without Jordan Love because of a knee injury, scored on both of their drives to open the first quarter.

Willis came into Sunday’s start with zero touchdown passes and three interceptions across three starts and 11 appearances since being selected in the third round of the 2022 draft by the Tennessee Titans. He needed just two drives with the Packers to get his first passing score

During the second half of the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 2 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, rookie defensive end Laiatu Latu exited the game with what was called a hip injury.

The Colts would then rule him out.

Latu was the Colts’ first round selection back in April and the first defender off the board. He has been a disruptive pass rusher since arriving in Indianapolis
