Colts vs. Titans injury report and starting lineup - October 31, 2021 | NFL Week 8

Indianapolis Colts v Tennessee Titans

The AFC South battle will have a defining moment on Sunday, when the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans meet for the second time this season.

A win for the Titans will most definitely end the race for the division crown. Tennessee would improve to a 3-game lead with the tiebreak advantage, essentially building a four-game lead.

If Indianapolis walks away with the triumph, then it's all going to be decided in the second half of the season. The Colts have improved massively in the last four weeks and are pushing for a playoff spot with an easier scheduling advantage from November on.

Colts fans might not be used to this, but the official injury report from Friday was mostly clean, with only cornerback BoPete Keyes ruled out for Sunday with a hamstring injury.

Even players who were questionable to play at the start of the week had full practice yesterday. WR T.Y. Hilton (quad) improved from DNP on Wednesday to full practice on Friday.

The same happened with CB Xavier Rhodes (calf) and T Braden Smith (foot/thumb).

Meanwhile, the visitors have some offensive problems to solve before taking the field on Sunday. None bigger than the absence of receiver Julio Jones, who did not practice this week and is nursing a hamstring injury.

The Titans have already ruled him out.
