The Indianapolis Colts are coming off a stellar Week 1 performance, defeating the Miami Dolphins, 33-8. The Colts’ defense smothered Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and the speedy Dolphins offense. Hill and fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle were held to 70 combined receiving yards. Meanwhile, the Colts’ offense became the first since 1977 to score on every possession.
Colts HC Shane Steichen told media CB Charvarius Ward (concussion) and CB Jaylon Jones (hamstring) are OUT vs. Denver. DE Laiatu Latu (hamstring) questionable. Latu hurt hammy in Wednesday practice. Look for Mekhi Blackmon and rookie Johnathan Edwards to help fill the void at CB.
